Blood In The Water

Didn't cry on the day she died
She couldn't stand the tears
But I could feel the cold wind blow
Like a ghost inside the mirror
I couldn't pray on the day he died
For a man I never knew
I'll wash these sins down the river
For a life I didn't choose

I'll say a prayer for my mother
I cry a tear for my father
Ain't nothing gonna save me
There's blood in the water
I pray for forgiveness
Let the lord be my witness
Ain't nothing gonna save me
There's blood in the water

Just a child of a ruthless man
Let the truth be told
Everyone's got their cross to bare
They carry that weight alone
So what would you give, what would you take
On your dying day
Between the lies and the memories
What shines will fade away

I'll say a prayer for my mother
I cry a tear for my father
Ain't nothing gonna save me
There's blood in the water
I pray for forgiveness
Let the lord be my witness
Ain't nothing gonna save me
There's blood in the water

I'll say a prayer for my mother
I cry a tear for my father
Ain't nothing gonna save me
There's blood in the water
I pray for forgiveness
Let the lord be my witness
Ain't nothing gonna save me
There's blood in the water
There's blood in the water
Ain't nothing gonna save me
There's blood in the water
I pray for forgiveness
Let the lord be my witness
Ain't nothing gonna save me
There's blood in the water
