lyrics

"The River Run Dry"

Hook:

You ask me why
The rivers run dry
The root of crime
Is truth disguised
by suits and ties
Their full of shit and full of lies
In all our decadence, people die

Strife Verse:

Politics is nothing but lies and treachery
A colossal joke played on all of us throughout the centuries
We headed for a reckoning, Incessantly, Freedom’s Lessoning
Don’t play into hands of our class enemy
Won’t surrender we, Wage war for land and freedom
Some know atrocities first hand, some can’t see them
Learn history mistakes, or be bound to repeat them
Refuse to wipe sleep from eyes, that keep ‘em sight severed
Won’t think deep expose the lie, of this bloody endeavor
Shaved, sheered, and shorned ya dreams ya shiver
The rich taunt us with freedom but never deliver
A freedom so fluid flows like currents in a river,
they the takers, we’re the givers are gold mines to plunder
in love with their own voice, kinda makes me wonder,
sands are shifting, headed for a tumble,
listen, don’t mumble
increase resistance take a stand,
(die with a gun in your hand)
