Red River.......

The breeze bears a sepulchral air,
The pain within, more than we can bear,
The waves lashing at our feet,
Brings the worst fear we're gonna meet,
Where, is the healing love??
The view, that makes us go wow!

He, made the miracle of birth,
The grief which came with cruel mirth,
The air-borne castles come crashin' down,
And tears stain the bloody crown,
This bloody bloody battle-field,
Weapons these arms did never wield.

Time brings down the mayhem,
We forget even what brought 'em,
Unlike those numb broken hearts,
Pierced thro' with venomous darts,
Each tear in the stained ground,
Like salt on the open wound.

Red River, flowin thro' the town,
Red River, floodin' our minds,
Red River, sweepin' away the stain,
Red River, over the sands of time......
