lyrics

Rock your babe to sleep
Sleep sweet darling
Be sure to put away your dreams
Tucked carefully between
Bodies lying in the streets

Now we're trained to speak
Ever so softly
And our state of safety
Is in constant decay
What has become of our liberties

These streets, once filled with song, are now Rivers of Blood
now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood
Dear God
Sweet love where have you gone

Play your symphony
To marching feet
The melody is cold
It penetrates the bones
And all the silence is deafening

These streets, once filled with song, are now Rivers of Blood
now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood
Dear God
Sweet love where have you gone

It can't be true be glad it wasn't you
And all the headlines say
We can't believe this tragedy
Our thoughts and prayers
Just waste away
Like the memories of the days we spent so unafraid
If we make a plan
We can make a stand
Who's with me now
Dear God I wasn't talking

Head down carry on carry on
Head down carry on carry on
Head down carry on carry on
Head down carry on carry on

These streets, once filled with song, are now Rivers of Blood
now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood
Dear God
Sweet love where have you gone

I just don't understand how you point the finger with blood still on your hands
I just don't understand how you point the finger with blood still on your hands
I just don't understand how you point the finger with blood still on your hands
