Well, it looks like it might rain
But rain ain't what we need
Sunshine and a war machine
I'm getting ready for another stampedeGrease the gears with blood
Paint it black as night
Ride through the city like a Trojan horse
Convinced what you're doin's all right(Hold on)
Hold on 'till the river goes down
The river goes to the sea
(Hold on)
Hold on the river's comin' down on meThe killin' field has come to main street
Scatter guns in the liquor store
Rifled sinkhole graves in concrete
It's out of hand at Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4, Black Fathom 4Fallen leaves turn grey
Faces cold and worn
Memories of a better time
Sswept away like a firestormWho can get it straight?
Who can think it through?
When every time the telephone rings
You think it's someone comin' after you(Hold on)
Hold on 'till the river goes down
The river goes to the sea
(Hold on)
Hold on and the river's get on on meYour mamma's shootin' Gallery wages
Your daddy don't give a damn no more
Keep these animals breakin' cages
Violent times at Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4, Black Fathom 4Walk into my world
Where brave can get you dead
You get together and a fight breaks out
Someone didn't understand what you saidWalk into my world
Anger's in my soul
Quick money give me double trouble
Friends are doing hard times in the hole(Hold on)
Hold on 'till the river goes down
The river goes to the sea
(Hold on)
Hold on and the river's get on on meChildren crying, sniper thunder
Case the alleys and the corridors
Don't look back it ain't no wonder
It's open season at black fathom
Black Fathom 4, Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4, Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4, Black Fathom 4
