The Waters Rise
In Iowa the waters rise
It doesn't feel like home under these skies
Water, water everywhere
But not a drop for souls in deep despair
In the land that even god forgot
Around their neck an albatross
Makes them think of love that they have lost
As they mourn, they start to weep
For all the dreams that they could never keep
In the land that even god forgot
Oh when the spirit moves under the moon all alone
Go down to the edge of the river you thought you had known
Bow down at the feet of the sins that cannot be atoned
And remember them
Remember them
The people know this water well
They almost drowned when wading through its hell
A few of them learned how to swim
While the rest were disgraced with a hymn
In the land that even god forgot
Oh when the spirit moves under the moon all alone
Go down to the edge of the river you thought you had known
Bow down at the feet of the sins that cannot be atoned
And remember them
Remember them
In Iowa the waters rise
It doesn't feel like home under these skies
It doesn't feel like home under these skies
Water, water everywhere
But not a drop for souls in deep despair
In the land that even god forgot
Around their neck an albatross
Makes them think of love that they have lost
As they mourn, they start to weep
For all the dreams that they could never keep
In the land that even god forgot
Oh when the spirit moves under the moon all alone
Go down to the edge of the river you thought you had known
Bow down at the feet of the sins that cannot be atoned
And remember them
Remember them
The people know this water well
They almost drowned when wading through its hell
A few of them learned how to swim
While the rest were disgraced with a hymn
In the land that even god forgot
Oh when the spirit moves under the moon all alone
Go down to the edge of the river you thought you had known
Bow down at the feet of the sins that cannot be atoned
And remember them
Remember them
In Iowa the waters rise
It doesn't feel like home under these skies
