Down by the river, the animals slowly died
Came here for water, but God made the river dry
And as I stare out at the piles of bones
I think of the story that you once told
Of how we're controlled by the things we fear
I scream at the sky but nobody hears
Down by the river, evil men came to pray
Dreaming of water washin' their sins away
And as I stare out at the piles of bones
I think of the story that you once told
Of how we're controlled by the things we fear
I scream at the sky but nobody hears
Down by the river, crows circlin' overhead
Beg for salvation, but they know what lies ahead
And as I stare out at the piles of bones
I think of the story that you once told
Of how we're controlled by the things we fear
I scream at the sky but nobody hears
Nobody hears
Out in the desert, graves where the nameless lie
Came seeking shelter but died under clear blue sky
