This blood river crossing Is so unforgiving Oh what a sight Please be silence while the emperor unfolds Am I just imagining? You are the arena Will I ever take a seat in the stand? Magnolia, hang me out to dry Set me on the alter Let me swim in you eyes Is this the place we first build this home Lover, I'm gonna let you down this time I smell that stench in the battle field My father I forgive you Mother let me hold you The dusts about to pass The good lord has his hand on us now The good lord has his hand on me now
