Blood In The Water

Didn't cry on the day she died

She couldn't stand the tears

I could feel the cold wind blow

Like a ghost inside the mirror

I couldn't pray on the day he died

For a man I never knew

I wash these sins on down the river

For a life I didn't choose

I say a prayer for my mother

I cry a tear for my father

Ain't nothing gonna save me

There's blood in the water

I pray for forgiveness

Let the Lord be my witness

Ain't nothing gonna save me

There's blood in the water

Just a child of a ruthless man

Let the truth be told

Everyone's got their cross to bear

And carry that weight alone

So what would you give? What would you take?

All your dying day

Between the lies and the memories

The shards will fade away

I say a prayer for my mother

I cry a tear for my father

Ain't nothing gonna save me

There's blood in the water

I pray for forgiveness

Let the Lord be my witness

Ain't nothing gonna save me

There's blood in the water

I say a prayer for my mother

I cry a tear for my father

Ain't nothing gonna save me

There's blood in the water

I pray for forgiveness

Let the Lord be my witness

Ain't nothing gonna save me

There's blood in the water

There's blood in the water

Ain't nothing gonna save me

There's blood in the water

I pray for forgiveness

Let the Lord be my witness

Ain't nothing gonna save me

There's blood in the water
