Lyrics
Well, it looks like it might rain
But rain ain't what we need
Sunshine and a war machine
I'm getting ready for another stampede
Fist begins with blood
Paint it black as night
Ride through the city like a Trojan horse
Convinced what you do is alright
Hold on until the river goes down
The river goes to the sea
Hold on, the river's coming down on me
Killing fields have moved to Main Street
Scattered guns in the liquor store
Barefoot sinkholes, bricks and concrete
It's all ahead in Black Fathom Four
Black Fathom Four
Black Fathom Four
Fallen leaves turn grey
Faces cold and worn
Memories of a better time
Swept away like a firestorm
Who can get it straight?
Who can think it through?
Every time the telephone rings
You think there's someone coming after you
Hold on until the river goes down
The river goes to the sea
Hold on, the river's coming down on me
Oh, boy, shoot, didn't carry wages
Your daddy doesn't give a damn no more
Keep these animals breaking cages
Fight until the Black Fathom Four
Black Fathom Four
Black Fathom Four
Walk into my world
Where brave can get you dead
You get together and a fight breaks out
Someone didn't understand what you said
Walk into my world
Anger's in my soul
Quick money gimme double trouble
Friends are doing hard time in the hole
Hold on until the river goes down
The river goes to the sea
Hold on, the river's coming down on me
Children cry and strike for thunder
Case the alleys and the corridors
Don't look back, it ain't no wonder
It's open season, Black Fathom
Black Fathom Four
Black Fathom Four
Black Fathom Four
Black Fathom Four
