Blood River
Journey through Blood River: A Tale of Redemption and Fate
Lyrics
I can't see for the lights burnin' in my head
I'm overwhelmed by the bright lights in my mind.
Cross the river through the fields to the lives I've led
I'm journeying across a river to reflect on my past experiences.
Through the black
Navigating through challenges symbolized by darkness.
Through the dark
Continuing to face difficulties and uncertainties.
Through the night
Enduring hardships throughout the night.
Through the pouring rain
Persisting through life's struggles, even in difficult times.
Lord, my time has come
A realization that one's time on Earth is ending.
Lord, my time has come
Reiteration of the awareness of approaching death.
Christian cross on the wall went and sealed my fate
A Christian symbol sealing the speaker's destiny.
Rising up through the sky to the pearl white gate
A spiritual ascent towards a heavenly gate.
Try to flight it everyday
Struggling against fate on a daily basis.
But then I realize that the good die young
Realizing the unfortunate reality that good people often die young.
Don't go grievin' son
Advice not to mourn excessively for those who have passed.
Don't go grievin' son
Reiteration of the advice not to grieve excessively.
Blood river don't dry up
A metaphorical river of blood that continues to flow.
Gotta taste for the silver cup
Desire for wealth or success represented by the silver cup.
White boy hang your head
An admonition to reflect on one's actions and consequences.
Livin' that way you'll soon be dead
Living recklessly may lead to an early demise.
I can't see for the lights burnin' in my head
Repetition of the overwhelming influence of mental lights.
Cross the river to the fields to the lives I've led
Repeating the journey across the river, reflecting on past choices.
Through the black
Continuing to face challenges and uncertainties.
Through the dark
Persevering through difficult and dark times.
Through the night
Enduring hardships throughout the night, a metaphor for life's struggles.
Through the pouring rain
Persisting through life's struggles, even in the pouring rain.
Lord my time as come
Repetition of the awareness of approaching death.
Lord my time as come
Reiteration of the realization that one's time on Earth is ending.
Blood river don't dry up
Continuation of the metaphorical river of blood that persists.
Gotta taste for the silver cup
Desire for wealth or success represented by the silver cup.
White boy hang your head
An admonition to reflect on one's actions and consequences.
Livin' that way you'll soon be dead
Living recklessly may lead to an early demise.
Blood ebb and flow
The rhythmic and cyclical nature of life's ups and downs.
Why she cries no one knows
An enigmatic expression of why sorrow exists.
Sweet Jesus take my hand
A plea for spiritual guidance and salvation.
Wash me away to the promised land
A desire to be cleansed and led to a promised, better place.
