Menace Ruine Soften Our Evil Hearts lyrics

Soften our evil hearts oh mother of kindness
Smother the storms of those who hate us
The cruelty of our hearts is the ominous danger
Let us not harm one another

Soften our evil hearts,
Breathe your wisdom onto earth
The human life-fire is blood
Seven spires inside your heart, we won't add another
May love rule in the death of poison and dwell therein

Hate is like the sharpness of dying
Use our hearts as drums
and rule over us with love
Compunction will awaken the grave

Ignite our souls with your warming light
May wrath die in its false desire
For in life and joy we shall strive

We are all born in hunger
And you offer your breast
With impunity we rob you
And make your heart bleed with boundless grief
Allow faith to lighten our blindness
Let us kiss your wounds
and drink a pearl of wisdom therein
