blood of the lamb

from Judgement by Brother Jack

lyrics

I had a little lamb, it's fleece was dripping red.
The blood of the little lamb filled my supper glass.
The blood of the little lamb smeared around the door.
What a shame, your son is dead.

One summer day it rained and the creek did rise.
The water came up and took a little boy.
His father paced the banks searching for his son.
All the people came, dragged the creek and found his body.

There was a girl in the prime of her blushing years.
After lunch one day, her heart just stopped.
All the doctors said it was something they couldn't explain.
All the people cried and her mother just didn't understand.

There was a disease we thought was just for old men.
It dosn't discriminate, your hair fell out.
Your parents watched you suffer and everyone knew the end.
All the people prayed for a miracle and you died.

The blood of the innocent flows like a mighty river.
All the people sang Amazing Grace.
