So you cut all the tall trees down You poisoned the sky and the sea You've taken what's good from the ground But you've left precious little for me You remember the flood and the fall We remember the light on the hill There should be enough for us all But the dollar is driving us still The river runs red, black rain falls Dust in my hand River runs red, black rain falls On my bleeding land So we came and conquered, and found Riches of commons and kings Who strangled and wrestled the ground But they never put back anything Now I'm trapped like a dog in a cage Wherever the truth is pursued It must be the curse of the age What's taken is never renewed The river runs red, black rain falls Dust in my hand River runs red, black rain falls On my bleeding land, oh yeah The river runs red, black rain falls Dust in my hand A river runs red, black rain falls On my bleeding land Land, land, land, land (On my bleeding land) Land, land The river runs red, black rain falls Dust in my hand (My hand) The river runs red, black rain falls On my bleeding land The river runs red, the black rain falls (The river runs red, the black rain falls) Dust in my hand (My hand) The river runs red, black rain falls On my bleeding land Land, land, land, land Land, land, land, land

I woke up thinking you were still here My hands shaking with regret I've held this dream for such a long long time And I wanna get up To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart That beats, that beats like a rolling drum I saw you standing on the corner I saw you standing on your own And I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream And I wanna get up To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart That beats, that beats like a drum When I fall asleep I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down But I will remember your light Your light it follows me in darkness I'm trying hard but I can't win And I've played the victim for a long long time And I wanna grow up From the rhythm a young, from the rhythm of a younger heart It leads just like a river runs That night I sent over the parkway The summer's gone and I'm alone And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close And I wanna get up To the rhythm of your wild, to the rhythm of your wild heart It beats, been beating since you've gone When I fall asleep I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down But I will remember When I fall asleep I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down And I know you're gone but still I will remember your light I will remember I will remember I will remember I will remember And if you see me in the darkness I hope you know I'm not alone I carry you with every breath I take I won't let up, I won't let up Until the wind is gone

Look for something that is hard to find Searching somewhere deep inside your mind Hope you find just what you're looking for Heaven's waiting with an open door If you should sell your soul as cheaply as I did then The road to ruin is a long road to hide in We signed our lives away to have an escape It's something that will be whatever our fate There's no use in hiding got to keep on trying Can't take no more lying this is the last There's no time for crying When some of us are dying none of us decide what is our fate Now with nothing to hide going nowhere Take my chances and stand by their sides When the river runs deep And the line breaks And the blood it flows Free from our lives Is this the last together maybe this time now We stand together and we're holding the line here There's nothing we can do just sit here and wait The die is cast that is deciding our fate There's no use in hiding Got to keep on trying Can't take no more lying This is the last There's no time for crying When some of us are dying None of us decide What is our fate Now with nothing to hide going nowhere Take my chances and stand by their sides When the river runs deep And the line breaks And the blood it flows Free from our lives Now with nothing to hide going nowhere Take my chances and stand by their sides When the river runs deep And the line breaks And the blood it flows Free from our lives Now with nothing to hide going nowhere Take my chances and stand by their sides When the river runs deep And the line breaks And the blood it flows Free from our lives Now with nothing to hide going nowhere Take my chances and stand by their sides When the river runs deep And the line breaks And the blood it flows Free from our lives

Dark moon levy road Weighed down in broken souls Black water on both sides Nowhere to turn around Cruel words bad joke Tread water till you can't float Gotta know that she's the one And how deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs Red lips, blue heart On the shore and torn apart Can't see beyond the light And that's not very far Swam out against the tide In between the truth and lies Gonna see where this love comes from And how deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs Old fears won't leave Staring back at you and me Let go and hold on Too late and too far gone Out here without a boat How was I supposed to know I'll tell you when it's done How deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs How deep this river runs

I know my days are numbered I've been in and out of phase But these days keep passing me by Good never comes my way Try to sit back and relax Try and think of something good Something else Something pure I can't but know I should Things I should have said Things that I regret And I regret No more waiting for something better to come along It's much easier to change me than it is to change them all Things I should have said and things that I regret Need to shed all my skin and start again Every turn I make is wrong I haven't smiled in so long Shed my skin and start again The memories that I once had of the good time We all used to have Shed my skin and start again

If tomorrow never shows I want you all to know That I loved you all, you're beautiful And I had myself a ball I've wasted so much precious time Been skating along these fine lines Now these weeds have grown where the sun once shown And my life has passed me by And my life has passed me by And I don't know why I keep searching for something that I never found While these weeds get deeper as I turn around And time grows older and I've grown colder So long has passed that I forgot to count These weeds have grown where the sun once shown And I can feel it Today I cut off all the ties Been led blind for all this time But somewhere in between the lies Are the hearts and minds of those who tried And although I've heard your lies... This space between us...

Can't separate the lies from reality Can't hold back these knives from penetrating me Can't wash away this crime, rolling down my face And everything is gone, gone and stripped away Say it's over 'cause I need some closure Say it's over, can't look me in the eyes Say it's over 'cause I need some closure I gave you everything, you gave me this black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine I can confess this time it wasn't my doing Can't erase it from my mind, desperation rings Can't wash away this crime from rolling down my face Everything is gone, gone and stripped away Say it's over 'cause I need some closure Say it's over, can't look me in the eyes Say it's over 'cause I need some closure I gave you everything, you gave me this black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine Mine Mine

When all is said and done I'll always be your son But all is not forgiven Well I'm on my knees pleading Just 'cause I'm grown you think I don't need Much more than what you've ever given me So when we gonna get together Seems there's no time for me You act like you got forever You've got time, but you ain't got time for me You said you've got time But you ain't got time for me Now that you've gone and tossed The bottle away now will ya Start a new life with the new wife Well she'll never be my mother I suppose that you know you oughta Remember the ones you left behind You're just letting it slip away now You act like things are fine I know you think you've been born again But this time You're leaving your son behind This time This time This time

There's blood on the floor And you're not even moving Don't really know if it's mine or yours But you ain't moving Eyes are wide as you grin at me You know there's a place where you'd rather be If you should die and I survive How could I go on knowing that I'm still alive Here breathing There's a beast that's living deep within me Forcing me to feed all my needs Yeah he's in me And he brought us here to end our fears To wave goodbye to all of the tears To start a new life on the other side of the river Well my world would be over Hold on, hold on, I won't be long Wait for me, man, I won't be long You were such in a rush to reach the other side Look at yourself with that look in your eye Smiling wide and pre-occupied with that river Well my world would be over

Won't you come see about me? I'll be alone, dancing you know it, baby Tell me your troubles and doubts Giving everything inside and out Love strange, so real in the dark Think of the tender things that we were working on Slow change may pull us apart When our life gets into your heart, baby Don't you, forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you, forget about me Don't you, try and pretend It's my feeling, we'll win in the end I won't harm you or touch your defenses Vanity, insecurity Don't you, forget about me I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby Come to, I'll take you apart I'll put us back together at heart baby Don't you, forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you, forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you, forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you, forget about me Will you stand above me? Look my way, never love me? Rains keeps falling Rains keeps falling down, down, down Don't you, forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you, forget about me But you walk on by Will you call my name? As you walk on by Will you call my name? As you walk away Will you walk away? Will you walk away? Come on baby, call my name I say, will you call my name? I say la la la Will you call my name, baby?
