I can't see for the lights burnin' in my head
Cross the river through the fields to the lives I've led
Through the black
Through the dark
Through the night
Through the pouring rain
Lord, my time has come
Lord, my time has come
Christian cross on the wall went and sealed my fate
Rising up through the sky to the pearl white gate
Try to flight it everyday
But then I realize that the good die young
Don't go grievin' son
Don't go grievin' son
Blood river don't dry up
Gotta taste for the silver cup
White boy hang your head
Livin' that way you'll soon be dead
I can't see for the lights burnin' in my head
Cross the river to the fields to the lives I've led
Through the black
Through the dark
Through the night
Through the pouring rain
Lord my time as come
Lord my time as come
Blood river don't dry up
Gotta taste for the silver cup
White boy hang your head
Livin' that way you'll soon be dead
Blood ebb and flow
Why she cries no one knows
Sweet Jesus take my hand
Wash me away to the promised land
