I was dreaming of a mountain in The sky above the flood And a forest and a city and A river made of blood Baptist guy keeps getting closer Tries to pull me down to the river Have i been such a wayward daughter? Hold my head under the water Oh, then i started shouting I felt like i was drowning Baptist, he keeps on plunging My hands, they keep on grabbing His hair, a tangled nest He smacks me across the chest "oh, what have i done then, father?" "you've been a wayward daughter" Take my hand now, we'll go walking On that mountain, above the flood In the forest, we'll make a canoe Put it in the river of blood Left my mind on the riverbank Left behind in the mud, it sank Baptist guy, i gotta thank you For the bath, though i didn't want to I feel the harsh demands Made by the baptists hands He bends me across his knee I'm backwards, i cannot see There's filth streaming out of me There's water rushing over me There's filth streaming out of me There's water rushing over me When the river becomes an ocean Every spirit of every man Will rise up and we will recall that We are all but one blood again Baptist guy keeps getting closer Tries to pull me down to the river Have i been such a wayward daughter? Hold my head under the water I was dreaming of a mountain in The sky above the flood And a forest and a city and A river made of blood Oh, then i started shouting I felt like i was drowning Baptist, he keeps on plunging My hands, they keep on grabbing His hair, a tangled nest He smacks me across the chest "oh, what have i done then, father?" "you've been a wayward daughter" Left my mind on the riverbank Left behind in the mud, it sank Baptist guy, i gotta thank you For the bath, though i didn't want to Take my hand now, we'll go walking On that mountain, above the flood In the forest, we'll make a canoe Put it in the river of blood I feel the harsh demands Made by the baptists hands He bends me across his knee I'm backwards, i cannot see There's filth streaming out of me There's water rushing over me There's filth streaming out of me There's water rushing over me When the river becomes an ocean And every spirit of every man Will rise up and we will recall that We are all but one blood again
