Lyrics
The sea tells a story you don’t understand
Until you cast off and leave the land
The Ocean opens Her bed to those
With cobalt graves and no tombstones
We take for granted the heaven sent
And try to own an element
Hurricane come and some folks ran
The rest just hope the lake stay dammed
The holy water
Is in the river
The holy water
The weight we’re under
War is coming from the deep
Reclaiming crowns and authority
Seven heads that all do speak
The household name of blasphemy
The holy water
Is in the river
The holy water
The weight we’re under
We’ll all wish that we did more
Than bandage up the bleeding shores
There won’t be time to cry
At the turning of the tide
The holy water
Is in the river
The holy water
The weight we’re under
