The Company Of Amateur Souls - Black Water Rising Lyrics

Black water rising
Black water rising
And these wheels you've set in motion
Will keep on turning
While black water's burning
And casts its shadow on the ocean

Some say you should have known
To leave that well alone
For you there's too much at stake
All the money that you think you'll make

You tell me there's a need
But I know its just greed
Come on slick show your hand
You don't care about the dirty sand

Black water rising
Black water rising
And these wheels you've set in motion
Will keep on turning
While black water's burning
And casts its shadow on the ocean

Crude attempts at trying to care
Won't get us anywhere
You don't feel for our sweet earth
Or understand just how much she's worth

You admit there's been some harm
The PR team is oozing charm
They say you''ll do what can be done
When we look away will you cut and run

Black water rising
Black water rising
And these wheels you've set in motion
Will keep on turning
While black water's burning
And casts its shadow on the ocean

There's votes still to be won
So politicians beat the drum
We know what those drums contain
Pretty words won't remove the stain

It may burn like devils blood
But its just trees and mud
Black water's not to blame
Its the greed of men that brings this shame

Black water rising
Black water rising
And these wheels you've set in motion
Will keep on turning
While black water's burning
And casts its shadow on the ocean
