The Angry River (From the HBO Series "True Detective")

The emptiness that we confess In the dimmest hour of day In the
common town they make a sound Like the low sad moan of prey The
bitter taste the hidden face Of the lost forgotten child The darkest
need the slowest speed The debt un-reconciled These photographs mean
nothing To the poison that they take Before a moment's glory The
light begins to fade The awful cost of all we lost As we
looked the other way We've paid the price of this cruel device '
Til we've nothing left to pay The river goes where the current flows
The light we must destroy Events conspire to set afire The methods we
employ These dead men walk on water Cold blood runs through their
veins The angry river rises As we step into the rain These
photographs mean nothing To the poison that they
take The angry river rises As we step into the rain
