The song Giving Ground was released by The Sisterhood in two versions on the Giving Ground single and in another version on their album Gift as well.
The lyrics on the single and on the album differ slightly, though:
Lyrics Version on Gift
Giving, Giving, Giving, Giving, Giving, Giving, Giving, Giving
In the place, through which we wander
Reason turned around
And every fool
Will see his madness crowned
And every truth is swallowed up
By gently giving ground
CHORUS
What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your choice lies broken
And the truth is drowned
I watch
Surrender
Because I know
...
And now I know you will not see
The madness we have seen
Now I know you cannot be
All that your flight has been
CHORUS
Words are just dust
I stood but you just could not wait
Behind
Because I know you cannot be
All that your flight has been
CHORUS
Everything is lost in the giving ground
Everything is lost
Everything is lost in the giving ground
Turned around
Reason, turned around
In the giving ground
Ground
In the giving ground
Everything is lost
In the giving ground
Lyrics Single Version
In the place through which we wander
Reason is turned around
And every fool who scuttles up
Will see his madness crowned
And every truth is swallowed up
By gently Giving Ground
CHORUS
What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your trust lies broken
And the truth is drowned
I watch as you surrender
To silence-loving screams
And now I know you will not see
The madness we have seen
And now I know you can not be
All that your flight has been
CHORUS
I stood but you just could not wait
These lines are driven straight
Through the circles of your hate
And 'cos I know you can not be
All that your flight has been
What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and the truth is drowned
Everything is lost in the giving ground
Everything is lost
Everything is lost in the giving ground
In the giving ground
(whispers) Everything is lost
In the giving ground

In the giving ground ... reason turned around ... the truth to drown ... in the show to kill ... on a Black Planet ... out of my mind's eye ... out of memory ... giving out and in ... sing ...
