|
Come in the water |
|
There ain't nobody else here |
|
Feel it still when the planes are coming |
|
I just want to lie here |
|
Left our homes, left our friends |
|
Left the wombs we lived in |
|
Spread out along the road |
|
And I've been weak |
|
When my Lord was calling |
|
The water will take our load |
|
On the day that you were born |
|
Legions laid down their arms |
|
On the day you lost control |
|
Legions leapt for your throat |
|
Telling me I'm wrong... |
|
Is the face in the water unmistakable? |
|
Black's the color of the sea |
|
When it's free from the light of the sun |
|
Your crystal ball... |
|
Your faith in the age of medicine |
|
And the children are asleep |
|
With their heads on the butt of a gun |
|
You put up a wall... |
|
Keep the bad ones out |
|
And the good ones in |
|
Fight the battle on your knees |
|
Till' the sea swallows everyone |
|
Come in the water |
|
Or is there somewhere you have to go? |
|
We'll keep a lantern open |
|
In case you loose your way in the cold |
|
On the day that you were born |
|
Legions laid down their arms |
|
On the day they found you out |
|
Left no shadow of a doubt |
|
And the children are asleep |
|
With their heads on the butt of a gun |
|
Fight the battle on your knees |
|
Till' the sea swallows everyone |
