Promise of Water

Now, they live in your head and they travel your veins
Now, they live in your head and they travel your veins
Every word that you speak is a word they have made
When you open your mouth, you're too stupid to scream
When you open your mouth, you're too stupid to scream
Your eyes are the holes where you suck in your need
There's steel in the air and there's blood on the wheels
There's steel in the air and there's blood on the wheels
But there's nothing to fear because nothing here's real

Hear the dogs, now, they howl as the street fills with flood
Yeah, the dogs, now, they howl as the street fills with flood
As your body drifts by and your lungs fill with mud
There's some people on earth and they scrape in the dust
There's some people on earth and they scrape in the dust
If we kill them enough, they will look just like us

Now, tear down this wall, let the animals out
Yeah, tear down this wall, let the criminals out
Let them take their revenge, let their hate fill your mouth

And just as it was is just how it will be
And just as it was is just how it will be
For the promise of water, I'll walk on my knees
