Drown All Your WitchesMy blood runs coldThrough the streets of New Orleans And drink they will this bitter wine Our faith has burnt From torches pushing southbound Unpunished goes no godly deed All I've ever done was hold the levee's thirst How could you sit there Just watching without a sound? On that day, with our backs against the wall Is that how you drowned all your witches? Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared I fill these bags and stack them against the dam My, I'm on the wrong side of this wall And when the cracks appear The sirens will serenade On just the wrong side of mercy All I've ever done is hold the levee's thirst How could you sit there Just watching without a sound? On that day, with our backs against the wall Is that how you drowned all your witches? Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared If you should find yourself against the current And the whites of your eyes go greet the Dawn again Just listen for that hymn that we've always sung 'Is that how you drowned all your witches?' Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared |
