Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come in the water There ain't nobody else here Feel it still when the planes are coming I just want to lie here Left our homes, left our friends Left the walls we lived in Spread out along the road And I've been weak When my Lord was calling The water will take our load [Chorus] On the day that you were born Legions laid down their arms On the day you lost control Legions leapt for your throat [Verse 2] Tell me I'm wrong Is the face in the water unmistakable? Black's the color of the sea When it's free from the light of the sun Your crystal ball Your faith in the age of medicine And the children are asleep With their heads on the butt of a gun [Bridge] You put up a wall Keep the bad ones out, keep the good ones in Fight the battle on your knees While the sea swallows everyone (Yeah, ooh, ooh-ooh) [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Come in the water Or is there somewhere you have to go? We'll keep a lantern open In case you lose your way in the cold [Chorus] On the day that you were born Legions laid down their arms On the day they found you out Left no shadow of a doubt [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] All the children are asleep With their heads on the butt of a gun (Oh, yeah, yeah) Fight the battle on your knees While the sea swallows everyone
