Black River 03:35
lyrics

Black river crawling Hard rain falling Black river crawling The Old Man come calling It’s been such a long time ago But it ain’t hard to remember The sky put its fist on the earth that day Started splitting timber Banks slid back down into the water Just swallowed them up River boiled up right into the city You couldn’t run fast enough Black river crawling Hard rain falling Black river crawling The Old Man come calling Dirt, dark, death and destruction Turned that water black And once that tide started rolling, baby No turning it back Black river crawling The Old Man come calling Here he comes Black river crawling Hard rain falling

The Reckoning 04:26

Did you pick up a stone and throw Did you deliver a killing blow Weren’t you starring in the final show-down Don’t you tell me that you just didn’t know The time is coming To answer for your fear and hate, my friend Worlds are burning The time is coming That bell is gonna resonate again, my friend Worlds are turning Get ready for a reckoning Did you turn and face the opposite way Did you tell your children what not to say Why do you feed the past and hide from the day-light I’ll tell you brother, freedom is the price you will pay The time is coming To answer for your fear and hate, my friend Worlds are burning The time is coming That bell is gonna resonate again, my friend Worlds are turning Get ready for a reckoning The reckoning The time is coming To answer for your fear and hate, my friend Worlds are burning The time is coming That bell is gonna resonate again, my friend Worlds are turning Get ready for a reckoning The reckoning Get ready for a reckoning The reckoning

Just One Thing 03:52
lyrics

Kick a rock into the gutter Gonna be another day One of these is not like the other I really couldn’t say Turn the corner, it’s been raining Streets are looking back at me Where you going, where you been Bottle’s empty but I can’t see The sum of the total of all I know Equals just one thing The sum of the total of all I know Equals just one thing One thing only It’s all I know Headed up without a glance Boots seem to know their way Try to think about what I can’t Promises fade away Raise a glass for the last time I’ll ever walk this way again Strange how beginnings flood your mind Once you reach the end The sum of the total of all I know Equals just one thing The sum of the total of all I know Equals just one thing One thing only Yeah, it’s just one thing Every day you win, every day you lose Sometimes you can find something you can use Maybe, maybe it’s one thing The sum of the total of all I know Equals just one thing The sum of the total of all I know Equals just one thing One thing only Yeah, it’s just one thing The sum of the total of all I know Equals just one thing One thing, one thing, one thing One thing, one thing, one thing

Running Wild 03:31
lyrics

Building walls, I’ve seen it all And truth will run to light Spring has come but I’m still numb From all the silent nights Darkness hides all I confide It shouldn’t be so hard Cross the line and heal my mind Tear my world apart Running wild Turn against the tide Running wild Set the world afire Running wild People speak but they don’t see I’m buried like a stone Beautiful things don’t wait for Spring To find their own way home Running wild Turn against the tide Running wild Set the world afire Running wild Running wild Turn against the tide Running wild Set the world afire Running wild We’re all running wild
