Holy Mother - The River lyrics

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
