The One Lyrics - The Flood And The Mercy - Ed Kowalczyk

Down in the river we were dyin' 

Forlorn and washed away 

Hypnotized by the sound 

The beating heart of yesterday 

I'll never fall back just to follow 

I will take you on 

And bring you to the place 

Where darkness bleeds into the sun 

The one you love 

The one you fear 

Couldn't make me disappear 

And now i'm risin from the ashes of that fire 

This will take you down you should know 

I will never let you go 

In this life or the next one 

We will meet again 

Now what was it that you were sayin'? 

Out of the mist there came a creature 

Made by the man who sowed 

Devilish seeds into the soil 

Of his achin' soul 

It's all so pretty on the outside 

But it's all for show 

Inside the cankers bleed 

As justice takes it's heavy toll 

Shut up your face, i'm talkin' 

I'm letting you know 

That now, now is the time 

That i'll be risin' 

I'll be shinin' with the one 

The one you love 

the one you fear 

Couldn't make me disappear 

Now i'm risin' from the ashes of that fire 

This will take you down
