Didn't cry on the day she died
She couldn't stand the tears
But 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 washed these sins on down the river
For a life I didn't choose
I say I pray 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 bare
You carry that weight in gold
So what would you give, what would you take
On your dying day
Between the lies and the memories
What shines will fade away
I say I pray 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 I pray 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
