Damn That River
The sunset on the rio, long
wish I could fight forever, strong
wish I could might, everyone
then I open wide, swallow the sun
Now my rio is running fast
current holds me under that forever lasts
it is okay though, for I've grown gills
adaptation through my elder will
To that sunset on the rio, grand
I'll take you there if you take my hand
we'll take a trip if you make a plan
open up the gateway to a far off land
Evil ways that woman owned
I felt the warning in every bone
now I sit here, all alone
for I've condemned her, from my home
And the damage there, for all to see
I wear it proudly, on my sleeve
seems I survived what others couldn't
guess I'm bragging though I know I shouldn't
I know you can't stand the sight of me
that feeling once came so naturally
repetition in what your asking me
are you blessed by the powers, that be?
