Rivers Of Life - Deastro

The Darkness feels a little closer now

I sold my stock in truth for a broken bottle

The burden bares a child near the wailing well

With one foot in the heavens and one where the angels fell

I’m gonna climb that mountain

I’m gonna finally be free

I’m gonna sing those hallelujahs when the devil torments me

Because the fire’s burning brighter when your hands are close to mine

Yes I know the lord is willing cause the son has always shined

And what are nails in your hands

I’ve got nails in my eyes

I’ve got a sister who sees ghosts in the middle of the night

Said you keep me with a lantern but you kept me by a knife

And all you priests just surrender all the money you’ve tendered

From blinds sons and the king’s money lenders

From sickle cell kids who needed a mender

Yes I’ve got this love

No you cannot take it

I’ve got this place for me!

I need a lord who doesn’t let babies burn in the hands of a man

With the face of fatalist

I need a star that will let people learn on their own

Then all the gods will have hearts for their thrones

Their courage and kindness will act as a catalyst

To stitch the bad dreams and seams of the rocks that were torn
