My blood runs cold Through the streets of New Orleans And drink they will this bitter wine Our fate burns From torches burning southbound Unpunished goose - no godly deed
All I've ever done was hold the levi's thirst How could you sit there Just watching without a sound? On that day, with our backs against the wall Is that hail drowned all your witches? Down in the ocean, one by one disappear
I built these barrels Stacked them against the dam My, I'm on the wrong side of this wall And when the cracks appeared The sirens serenaded I'm just on the wrong side of mercy
All I've ever done was hold the levi's thirst How could you sit there Just watching without a sound? On that day, with our backs against the wall Is that hail drowned all your witches? Down in the ocean, one by one disappear
If you should find yourself against the current And light of your eyes go green to dark again Just listen for that hymn we've always sung 'Is that how you drowned all your witches?' Down in the ocean, one by one disappear
