Lyrics
Hell and High Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have seen mountains tumble
In the valley of the dark
I have watched oceans dry up
There's a desert in my heart
Here they come to wage a war against me
Kill the visions that plague me
Here they come, the shadows apprehend me
But they'll never cut me free
I have seen hell and high water
I have surely wandered blind
I close my eyes, drown in salt water
Feel the waves crash by my side
Here they come to wage your war against me
Kill the visions that plague me
Here they come, the shadows apprehend me
But they'll never cut me free
Here they come to wage your war against me
Kill the visions that plague me
Here they come, the shadows apprehend me
But they'll never cut me free
