Black water 3 125

מילים

[INTRO – slow, eerie, distant fuzz guitar] Down by the marsh where the cold reed sways, I heard your voice from far away... It wasn’t a whisper, wasn’t a cry... Just something old that refused to die. [VERSE I] Down by the marsh where the cold reed sways, I heard your voice from far away. It wasn’t a whisper, it wasn’t a cry, just something old that refused to die. [PRE-CHORUS – tension rising] If you go down... don’t go alone. If you go down... DON’T GO ALONE! [CHORUS – heavy fuzz riff] The earth remembers EVERY STONE! Black water roots below our feet! Keeping secrets, keeping secrets... Secrets we’ll never meet! [INSTRUMENTAL – heavy fuzz riff / wah-wah] [VERSE II] We lit a lantern where the river bends, but the dark came crawling in again. Branches twisted like aching hands, guarding the truth no soul understands. [PRE-CHORUS] If you go down... don’t go alone. If you go down... DON’T GO ALONE! [CHORUS] The earth remembers EVERY STONE! Black water roots below our feet! Keeping secrets, keeping secrets... Secrets we’ll never meet! [PSYCHEDELIC BREAK – bass, organ, distant guitar] Black water... Cold river... Something waits beneath the ground... Black water... Cold river... Can you hear that ancient sound? [BRIDGE – slow, haunting vocal with tape echo] And when the night began to groan... You swore you heard me call you home... Call you home... Call you... HOME! [GUITAR SOLO – long fuzz/wah solo, feedback] [BREAKDOWN – almost whispered] If you go down... Don’t go alone... The earth remembers... Every stone... [FINAL CHORUS – explosive] IF YOU GO DOWN, DON’T GO ALONE! THE EARTH REMEMBERS EVERY STONE! BLACK WATER ROOTS BELOW OUR FEET! KEEPING SECRETS... KEEPING SECRETS... SECRETS WE’LL NEVER MEET! [OUTRO – slow hypnotic riff, organ and feedback] Black water roots... Below our feet... The earth remembers... Every stone... If you go down... Don’t go... Alone... [feedback fades into silence]
