Lyrics
dark water
the devil made the dark water
down in the river
he put it there to wash away my soul
temptation leads to sadness
lust it leads to sorrow
you can't buy back what your heart as sold
the river runs to hades
away from god and family
in a boat that you can never row
it's draawn on by a current
of sex and drugs and money
the demons keep you helpless in the flow
ref.
your momma tried to tell you
but you wouldn't listen
she tried to put you on the righteous road
now there is no sign post and
no one there to guide you
no one there to lift your deadly load
the raven sings to satan
a song about tomorrow
so do today what the flesh desires
time will come for payment
when he claims his bounty
and theres no hidin' from the burning fire
ref.'''''''''''''''''''''
the devil made the dark water
down in the river
he put it there to wash away my soul
temptation leads to sadness
lust it leads to sorrow
you can't buy back what your heart has sold
you can't buy back what your heart has sold.
