Rage - Take Me to the Water lyrics

rate me

[Music & Lyrics: P. Wagner]

My blinded eyes are staring at the burning sky

There's not a cloud to throw a shadow in my way

My dried out body's got no shelter from the sun

What's coming over me, to hell, what's coming over me?

I'm stumbling through these fields of naked stones and sand

Here's nothing growing, every life has found and end

And not a drop of water that could wet my lips

What's coming over me, to hell, what's coming over me?

I'm burning for liquid

More than words can say

I can't stay in this wasteland

I'm starving, I need your hand

Take me to the water, bring me to a shore

Take me to the water, I can't take much more

I can't explain it what has happened to my land

What once were meadows now is deadly desert sand

And all my people died, our fountains, they ran dry

What did come over us, to hell, what did come over us?

We were a race of billions, trying to rule the earth

But on this planet we have done our job the worst

It seems that our evolution made no sense

What did come over us, to hell, what did come over us?

Disasters, they warned us

We did not see the signs

I can't stay in this wasteland

I'm starving, I need your hand

Take me to the water, bring me to a shore

Take me to the water, I can't take much more

We were send to a holy land, were meant to understand

Pride got us completely wrong to believe we're endless strong

Take on life and I'll take two, sort 'em out and kill anew

Hell is here, it's sad but true

When one thinks he's more than you

The blinded eyes are staring at the burning sky

The last man on this planet, left alone to die

The only hope is left to find what he was told

To find the river where the water of mercy flows

Take me to the water...
