My blood runs cold
Through the streets of new orleans
And drink they will this bitter wine
Our fate burns
From torches burning southbound
Unpunished goose - no godly deed

All I've ever done was hold the levi's thirst
How could you sit there
Just watching without a sound?
On that day, with our backs against the wall
Is that hail drowned all your witches?
Down in the ocean, one by one disappear

I built these barrels,
Stacked them against the dam
My, I'm on the wrong side of this wall
And when the cracks appeared
The sirens serenaded
I'm just on the wrong side of mercy
All I've ever done was hold the levi's thirst
How could you sit there

Just watching without a sound?
On that day, with our backs against the wall
Is that hail drowned all your witches?
Down in the ocean, one by one disappear
If you should find yourself against the current
And light of your eyes go green to dark again
Just listen for that hymn we've always sung
'Is that how you drowned all your witches?'
Down in the ocean, one by one disappear
