Wash Me in the River

Wash me in the river

 Take my sins away

 Oh brothers and sisters

 I need to be saved

 It burns like a fever

 All of my mistakes

 

 Take me down to the water

 

 Wash me in the river

 Take my sins away

 It's becoming clearer

 I need to be saved

 

 History is violent

 Memory's a cage

 When I close my eyelids

 All I see is rage

 

 Wash me in the river

 Full me from the lake

 The one that's made of fire

 The one I can't escape

 

 This must be a nightmare

 You say I'm awake

 Hate is the survivor

 After all else breaks

 

 Maybe I'm too far gone to save

 Maybe I'm gone too far to change

 

 Wash me in the river

 Take my sins away

 Oh brothers and sisters

 I need to be saved

 It burns like a fever

 All of these mistakes

 

 Take me down to the water...

 

 Wash me in the river
