The Revivalists - Blood on the River

The Revivalists - Blood on the River 

Long live the river within us 
As we disappear into the dust 
Taken from the well and the fountain of change 
As we sip from the vine of pleasure and pain 

You can have it all in your long black dress 
But you can't take it with you if you pass that test 
Feels right out here in the pines 
I take a walk by the river and I clear my mind 
(I take a walk by the river and I clear my mind) 

I watch 'em all fade away 
Behind their guns and the cavalry 
It’s all skinned knees and make believe 
'Til you end up hangin’ from the family tree 
Now there's blood on the river, you feel no pain 
God damn, it's a dreadful game 
Got no past, erased it fast 
No God, no shame, it's sad 
No God, no shame, it's sad 

Long live the river 
Long live the river 
Long live the river within us 

Trust no one's their philosophy 
Ain't nobody here to care for me 

(Wow) 
(Wow) 
(Wow) 
(Wow) 

Long live the river, long live the river 
Long live the river, within us 
Long live the river, long live the river 
Long live the river, within us 
Long live the river, long live the river 
Long live the river within us 
Long live the river, long live the river 
Long live the river, within us
