Hear the sound of the river, it'll drag you down* You've been walking through the fire You've been raised in misery; in the name of God See the rage of the water and prepare to drown Like the wounded wants a doctor, son you really need a boat To stay alive as nature's running wild
[Chorus:] Blood River; sail away When you see the light, the time has come to pay Blood River You may try to run, they'll find you anyway
By the shore someone's laughing; now it's you against the world They've been lying they have cheated, made a wasteland of the earth without knowing why the innocent must die
[Chorus:] Blood River; sail away When you see the light, the time has come to pay Blood River You may try to run, they'll find you anyway
Life is not a fairytale; life is not a game to play longing for last goodbye, waiting for the final trial
[Solo:]
[Chorus:] Blood River; sail away When you see the light, the time has come to pay Blood River You may try to run, they'll find you anyway
