Burning shore and empty sky
Choppy sea and sleepless nights
Death reflections in the deep
Drowning Water comfort me
Swallow stone and greet the dead
Give them what I wish I had
Cast no shadow in the deep
Drowning Water comfort me
Drowning Water feel my love
Will it ever be enough
Morning's coming on the tide
How we live is how we die
Mud is broke and heart's a grave
But water always has it's ways
Sixteen souls for you to keep
But Drowning Water won't take me
Swallow stone and still I rise
I have no anchor but time
But the waves refuse my plea
Drowning Water won't take me
Drowning Water feel my love
It will never be enough
Morning's coming on the tide
How we live is how we die
How we live is how we die

Oh sinners, have you washed in the blood
Oh sinners, have you washed in the blood
Oh, temptation will lead you
Lead you astray
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
Today's the day
Oh sinners, have you slaughtered the lamb
Oh sinners, have you slaughtered the lamb
It's eternal damnation, lest you wash in the blood
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
The time has come
This prison's on fire, and I lit the match
This prison's on fire, and I lit the match
'Cause we all want our freedom, not just to break stone
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
Send them home
I'll be a sinner, all of my days
I'll be a sinner, all of my days
I ain't waitin' for Jesus, he's left us alone
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
The seed's been sown
You stick with me sir, you might learn to survive
Keep that gun loaded, you'll be my eyes
'Cause these devils among us, are out for our souls
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
We ain't fightin' alone
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
We ain't fightin' alone

Slow we go and slow we rise
Hold the course, the stormy isle
Dark aboad, batter my sails
Waves are strong, clouds roll in
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
The sky is red, I see the face
Of the one who'll take my place
I say a prayer, and close my eyes
My aim is true, the bullets flies
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
The seeds we sow, the food we reap
Tide of death is rising
Ain't no grave can hold me down
One foot in hell, one sacred ground
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on
End will come
The tale is told, my fate is writ
And I weep, it starts again
