The River Lyrics - Holy Mother

A quiet night on an endless street 

The smell makes me fall to my knees 

Desire strikes, I've been dealt by the hand 

A tooth for an eye, it's the law of the land 

I'm defecting your laws, I'm rejecting the sky 

I'm reflecting your face, I'm a victim of crime 

I was sent from the sky 

I'm destined to die 

I'm the bloodline, the river is rolling 

Like a train on the tracks, turn your white into black 

I'm alive, and the pain, it is showing 

I'm defecting your laws, I'm rejecting the sky 

I'm reflecting your face, I'm a victim of crime 

The river, oh, the river 

It's flowing through my veins 

The river 

A fight's a fight, it's your last meal 

The bulls have returned to the cage 

Dust in my eyes, the sweat from the rays 

My conscious will lead me, my mind it deceived me 

I'm defecting your laws, I'm rejecting the sky 

I'm reflecting your face, I'm a victim of crime 

The river, oh, the river 

It slowly brings you down 

The river
