Flobots - Blood In The River Lyrics

[Intro]
There is blood in the river
There is blood

[Chorus: Jonny 5]
How could you wear that
Don't you even care that
Aren't you aware that
Someone might be scared that
You might belong to
Don't know if you're going to
Please tell me that you'd never want to
Even if they taunt you
Don't let the demons haunt you
I know you know that it'd be wrong to
Even after everything you've gone through
You're not alone, there are so many who are drawn to
The other side you wanna place your burdens onto
I know your blood is in the river, that's what bonds you
I hear your voice in everyone you sing this song to
I hear your voice in everyone; you sing this song too

[Bridge]
There is blood

[Verse 1: Brer Rabbit]
You wanna talk or talk about it
I'm on top of the mountain shouting
The tears in the river are
Accounting for this downpour
The blood floods the gutter
Gutter struggle is where the blood reeks
And they couldn't find him
Where the shots and the slugs speak
Gun me in the streets in broad daylight
King, what was wrong is now right
And the right is now wrong
And the lambs no longer silent
Keep on singing this song
When the people fiend
Never knowing they can be strong
Don't know the names of these psalms
But the make of these bonds
As the same
Dang cable that could table Aslan
I'd be lying if I said my pride
Could never be wrong
That's why we wade in the water
But it's staining the clothes
Cuz the blood of the slaughter it remains on our souls
So the tides of tomorrow's where we're placing our hopes
[Chorus: Jonny 5]
How could you wear that
Don't you even care that
Aren't you aware that
Someone might be scared that
You might belong to
Don't know if you're going to
Please tell me that you'd never want to
Even if they taunt you
Don't let the demons haunt you
I know you know that it'd be wrong to
Even after everything you've gone through
You're not alone, there are so many who are drawn to
The other side you wanna place your burdens onto
I know your blood is in the river, that's what bonds you
I hear your voice in everyone you sing this song to
I hear your voice in everyone; you sing this song too

[Bridge]
There is blood in the river
There is blood

[Verse 2: Jonny 5]
I know you've felt the trauma
Witnessed struggle heaped upon
As bodies broken buried deep
As raw emotions speak
And on this Earth it's I alone
Live alone, die alone
Looking for a flag to provide a home
Listen for a call, hear a dial tone
But I swear
Despite anything I think, say, or do
Or try to express but don't know how to
Despite everything I sing about you
'Cause I would be incomplete without
[Outro]
There is blood in the river
There is blood
