Delving into the profound depths of human emotion, this piece beautifully portrays a struggle with guilt and despair. The lyrics suggest a person grappling with an unexplained tragedy or hardship, symbolized by the "one-winged dove" and "head of a rabbit." They question what they've done to deserve such suffering despite their prayers always being rooted in love. The references to biblical figures like Delilah and Elijah might indicate a spiritual crisis as well. The recurring question "How did this happen?" underscores the confusion and disbelief that often accompany pain. This song is a poignant exploration of human vulnerability, questioning divine justice, and seeking solace amidst suffering.
Drawn To The Blood
Lyrics
I'm drawn to the blood
The flight of a one-winged dove
How? How did this happen?
How? How did this happen?
The strength of his arm
My lover caught me off guard
How? Head of a rabbit
How? Head of a rabbit
For my prayer has always been love
What did I do to deserve this?
With blood on my sleeve
Delilah, avenge my grief
How? God of Elijah
How? God of Elijah
As fire to the sun
Tell me what I have done
How? Heart of a dragon
How? Heart of a dragon
For my prayer has always been love
What did I do to deserve this now?
How did this happen?
