Kansas - Black Fathom Lyrics

Well, it looks like it might rain
But rain ain't what we need
Sunshine and a war machine
I'm gettin' ready for another stampede

Grease 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 'till the river goes down
The river goes to the sea
Hold on the river's comin' down on me

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 4

Fallen leaves turn gray
Faces cold and worn
Memories of a better time
Swept away like a firestorm

Who 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 'till the river goes down
The river goes to the sea
Hold on the river's comin' down on me

Mamma's shootin' gallery wages
Your daddy don't give a damn no more
Keeps these animals breakin' cages
Violent times at Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4

Walk into my world
Where brave can get you dead
You get together and a fight breaks out
Someone didn't understand what you said

Walk into my world
Anger's in my soul
Quick money give me double trouble
Friends are doing hard times in the hole

Hold on 'till the river goes down
The river goes to the sea
Hold on the river's comin' down on me

Children crying sniper thunder
Against the alleys and the corridors
Don't look back, it ain't no wonder
It's open season, Black Fathom
Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4

Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4
Black Fathom 4
