[Verse 1]
I can see the river bleedin' out to the promised land
Where there ain't nowhere to run from the blood on your brother's hands
We're payin' the cost for a life here of our own
But left with nothin' but holes to lie in when it's gone
[Chorus]
And if I could steal a conscience clean
I'd finally put my mind at ease
Where we ride the rails of a history
Where there ain't no honor among thieves
[Verse 2]
I could see the blood cover every single country mile
So long ago in time that there ain't no way to reconcile
It's hangin' like a fog so thick left in the air
Founded on their backs for an unkind world to bare
[Chorus]
And they had to steal the American dream
But no one's waking from the sleep
Where we ride the rails of a history
Where there ain't no honor among thieves
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I could see the river bleedin' out to the promised land
Where there ain't nowhere to run from the blood on your brother's hands
