BlackWater

[Verse 1] The wind of the Old West hits different.

Black birds circle over Blackwater.

A rat who speaks, then listens.

The architect of our gravest sins is at work.

We carried the pain, turned to snow,

Hiding ourselves from every eye.

[Chorus] I said, careful—

A thief walks among our brothers,

Speaking good with no good in his words.

I said, careful now, brothers—

The sun is against us today.

Blind, yet seeing. Mute, yet speaking.

Keep them slingers tight and ready.

[Post-Chorus] A devil with a moustache

Has everything planned.

He planned it all right.

[Instrumental] [Verse 2] Through mountains of snow, white and cold,

Our troubles seem to fade away,

Yet the mountains spew more into us.

The storms passed, only to return,

Hitting us harder than before.

Pretty words conceal evil meanings,

And the truth behind a man's intentions.

Trust the stone before the rat—

The stone stays still and listens.

[Chorus] I said, careful—

A thief walks among our brothers,

Speaking good with no good in his words.

I said, careful now, brothers—

The sun is against us today.
