Yet another morning
that feels like this
Yet another life's bitter kiss
It has been like this for… I don't know how long
I only know that at some point
it all went wrong
I don't remember much from last night
but still far more than I would like to
I'm floating downstream that damned river again
What can I do now except continue
and open a bottle once more
What can I do now except see this through
and float with the stream, off the shore
see where the river will take me
When I needed you, you weren't there…
now I need booze like I need the air that I breathe
With each drink I'm drifting further away from your world
the further off I get the harder it will be to return
It has been like this for… I don't know how long
I only know that at some point
it all went wrong
Floating downstream that damned river again
The river that's distilled from premium grain
What can I do now except continue
and open a bottle once more
What can I do now except see this through
and float with the stream, off the shore
see where the river will take me
As ı walk through the valley
of the shadow of LA
The footsteps that were next to me
have gone their separate ways
ı've seen enough now
to know that beautiful things
don't always stay that way
ı've done enough now
to know this beautiful place
isn't everything they say
ı heard that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
ı'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river
ı've seen a vision of my life
And ı wanna be delivered
in the city was a sinner
ı've done a lot of things wrong
But ı swear ı'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
ı was out on my own
Now ı'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
ı'm delivered
ı'm delivered
(M. Shadows)
You're from a small town
you're gonna grow up fast
underneath these lights
Down in Hollywood on the boulevard
the dead come back to life
To the praying Mother
The worried Father
Let your children go
if they come back they'll come home stronger
and if they don't you'll know
They sing that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
ı'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river
ı've seen a vision of my life
And ı wanna be delivered
ın the city was a sinner
ı've done a lot of things wrong
But ı swear ı'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
ı was out on my own
Now ı'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
ı'm delivered
ı'm delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
ı wanna be delivered
(on my own)
(on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
ı wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
ı wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
ı wanna be delivered
ı confess ı'm a sinner
ı've seen a vision of my life
And ı wanna be delivered
I come from down in the valley where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and mary we met in high school when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Then I got mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteen birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
On down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the johnstown company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember, mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse that sends me
Down to the river though I know the river is dry
Down to the river, my baby and i
Oh down to the river we ride

*That night we went down to the river,
Though I know, the river is dry.
It sends me down to the river, tonight
