The River (feat. M. Shadows and Synyster Gates)

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of L.A.

The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways

I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't always stay that way

I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't everything they say

I heard that evil comes disguised

Like the city of angels

I'm walking towards the light

Baptized in the river

I've seen a vision of my life, and I wanna be delivered

In the city, was a sinner

I've done a lot of things wrong, but I swear I'm a believer

Like the prodigal son, I was out on my own

Now I'm trying to find my way back home

Baptized in the river

I'm delivered, I'm delivered

You're from a small town, you're gonna grow up fast underneath these lights

Down in Hollywood, on the boulevard, the dead come back to life

To the praying mother and the worried father, let your children go

If they come back, they'll come home stronger, and if they don't, you'll know

They say that evil comes disguised

Like the city of angels

I'm walking towards the light

Baptized in the river

I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered

In the city, was a sinner

I've done a lot of things wrong, but I swear I'm a believer

Like the prodigal son, I was out on my own

Now I'm trying to find my way back home

Baptized in the river

I'm delivered, I'm delivered

Baptized in the river (On my own)

Baptized in the river (On my own)

I wanna be delivered

On my own

On my own

Baptized in the river (On my own)

I wanna be delivered

Baptized in the river (On my own)

I wanna be delivered

Baptized in the river (On my own)

I wanna be delivered

I confess I'm a sinner

I've seen a vision of my life, and I want to be delivered
