Lyrics
Blackwater
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.
In a time when lawmen were outlaws
A thief, a cutthroat, and a bounty hunter face an enemy of a new kind
Through the uncharted lands of the west
A fistful of men ride for the blackwater
Tonight, an unsettling tone lingers in the air
The sound makes the horses shriek in fear
From above, piercing thunder roars
The earth has visitors
This is the sound of the machine
Now staring into the sky, the stars dissipate to make way
As a mechanical beast makes its descent towards the earth
Through galaxies in space, it restores it's time
Fear finds a way into the heart of every man of the blackwater
Blackwater
(Blackwater)
From above, piercing thunder roars
The earth has visitors
This is the sound of the machine
Now staring into the sky, the stars dissipate to make way
As a mechanical beast makes its descent towards the earth
Blackwater
(Blackwater)
