We were half way there
When we had to turn back
They saw our ghosts
Slide across the moon
I wouldn't say it was fair
We were covering our tracks
We're out of the war
Well before they knew
I, I've been drinking dirty water
From the river in your palm
I, I've been kneeling on the sharp end
Another nail in the cross
We were up to our necks
On promises we can't keep
Another rider slipped away at dawn
You put me up to the test
But the winds were too weak
Blowing smoke out into the fog
I, I've been drinking dirty water
From the river in your palm
I, I've been kneeling on the sharp end
Another nail in the cross
