River of God Songtext
von Crime & the City Solution

The soldiers came by land and ore
My children are their children
Children of war
Their′s is a hunter sun
A war long begun
Turn your ploughs into guns
What is cannot be undone

Going down to the river
To hear her song
To the river
Where we belong
Open up your wings above the raging sea
Way up there you can be
Anything you want to be


They burnt my sister in the market square
Brother asked not why but where
You kissed your fallen brother's check
Held him back from longing sleep
I wish I could be the man I wanted to be, son
But I surrendered to the darkness so very early on
Brother was curious that I had no past
Was I the first but also the last
I said my future is infinite, sculpted by will
But the present is a meal quarantined from the kill

Going down to the river
Where the living meets the dead
To the river
Where the living meets the dead
Going down to the river to hear her song
Down the river that we wind along
Open up your wings above the raging sea
Way up there you can be
Anything you want to be
