Come in the water
There ain't nobody else here
Feel it still when the planes are coming
Just wanna lie here
Left our homes
Left our friends
Left the walls we live in
Spread out along the road
And I've been weak
When my Lord was calling
The water will take our load
On the day that you were born
Legions laid down their arms
On the day you lost control
Legions leapt for your throat
Tell me I'm wrong
Is the face in the water unmistakable?
Black's the color of the sea when it's free from the light of the sun
Your crystal ball
Your faith in the age of medicine
And the children are asleep with their heads on the butt of a gun
Put up a wall
Keep the bad ones out, keep the good ones in
Fight the battle on your knees while the sea swallows everyone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Come in the water
Or is there somewhere you have to go?
We'll keep a lantern open
In case you lose your way in the cold
On the day that you were born
Legions laid down their arms
On the day they found you out
Left no shadow of a doubt
All the children are asleep with their heads on the butt of a gun
Fight the battle on your knees while the sea swallows everyone
