Текст песни: Riversong + перевод

I’ve been down the river, I’ve been to the sea

I’ve been to the depths of the waters in me

The waters in me like the waters in you

Are old as the earth, are pulled by the moon

The moon with its glow borrowed off of the sun

Moves cold light on land and rivers as they run

They run over land made fallow by man

A man who’s made fallow by his own two hands

The hands that can grow are the same that can kill

But the hands that do wrong are a human’s hands still

Those killing hands they are loving hands

They are my hands and your hands

Hands that can harm are hands that can heal

Hands that can give are hands that can steal

And what do you do now that you know

The shackles are still steel the walls are still stone?

Don’t look away, don’t look away

And I’ve watched a prison go up stone by stone

It’s watching a grave be filled bone by bone

Bones that have danced and bones that stood strong

Bones inside bodies with lungs full of song

Songs that can guide us unto ourselves

Before they are silenced by movements of hell

And hell isn’t red hot it’s cold and it’s hard

It’s gunshots and courtrooms

It’s lies and it’s laws

It’s sentences and stipulations, institutions and explanations

It’s a cage and a word

I’ve been down the river, I’ve been to the sea

I’ve been to the depths of the waters in me
