Rivers
Blacks& Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It happens once in your life
To be enthroned, in your home
Well, meet me by the drum
Amen
(River of blood, river of blood)
(River of blood, river of love)
Wreckin' days, you're flawless in ways,
We break for the countryside
The rebels were all shocked to find
No food or guns in those mines
You're sitting ducks
On this river of blood,
On this river of
Safe to stay, streams of red and gray,
It happens once in a while
A freedom chase, right next to me,
You've brought them their last wife
But, it's not enough
On this river of blood
On this river of
On this river of
I hear footsteps coming near us
They're getting louder, I am frightened
This is it yeah, we are ready!
Super-killing rings headed for me,
You're too damn human darlin'
New voices spinning in circles
I'll do what they tell me,
If they get me
You and I, will never know,
Probably be dead by tomorrow
You and I, will never know
You and I, you can know you and I
It wasn't like they told me
(I can't believe we got away)
This isn't like they told me
In the same room,
With the same blood,
Speaking freely,
Talking has never been so easy
On this river of blood
On this river of
On this river of

The lyrics are vivid and full of emotion, describing the horrors of war and the desperation of those caught up in it. The song begins with the lines "Trail away, an endless day, it happens once in your life, to be enthroned, in your home." These lines set the tone for the rest of the song, which is filled with imagery of violence and destruction.
The song goes on to talk about the rebels as they travel through the countryside looking for food and guns to aid them in their fight. They are described as "sitting ducks" on a river of blood, which highlights the danger they are in as they try to survive in a war-torn country where violence is everywhere.
As the song progresses, the rebels' situation becomes even more dire. The lyrics talk about "super-killing rings" coming after them, and the fear and desperation that they feel as they prepare to fight for their lives. The song ends with the lines "On this river of blood, on this river of," leaving the listener with a sense of uncertainty and sadness as the rebels continue to fight for their freedom.

Having a conversation has never been so effortless.
