River Throat

River throat is calling
River throat is screaming
See this body, it cannot breathe
From this shit that you've given me
Taste my waters, take in disease
Watch, my lover, you rape me
And river throat says
All right we'll cover up
Yeah, watch my waters rise
Now the land is angry
And the sky is closing, it's true
See this body, it's not my own
Tainted sores and human bones
Watch my lover, locked in soil
And now you rape me
And river throat says
All right we'll cover up
Watch my waters rise, yeah
River throat
River throat
River throat
River throat
He says to me
He screams, yeah
Watch!
See the water, see the stones
Float like flowers, bob, and glow
Power plants, they break loud makers
Into war, and yet we made them
River throat, calling
River throat, screaming
And river throat says
All right, we covered up
And river throat says
All right we covered up
Watch my waters rise
Rise!
Rise!
