Crimson Rivers

exposed emotions
blister 'neath
your numbing gaze
of indifference
that roars
in thunderous waves
to crash upon
the battered shores
of my heart

exposed emotions
drivin' me insane
their hungry voices
screamin' in my head
behold a night wind
leads me
to a place
where dangerous visions
softly tread

take my heart
take my soul
take anything you want
don't take my sons
take my heart
take my soul
take my life if you must
just don't take my sons
don't take my sons

exposed emotions
out of control
a raging firestorm
burnin' thru my soul
behold a storm wind
carries me away
where crimson rivers
twist and bend
on these endless
desert sands

cover me in shades
of golden brown
a trackless dune
in desert lands
where crimson rivers
twist and bend
twist and bend
in these bitter
endless sands

take my heart
take my soul
take anything you want
don't take my sons
take my heart
take my soul
take my life if you must
i'm under your thumb
you've got the �gun
