You're bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter is sweet
So give in, give in, give in, give me more
Your figure, figure, figure, figure of speech
Someone will face the fire if you fall
And when you fall
Staring down the barrel of a gun
I knew that you would be the one
Raise a glass, looking at the sun
Mimic life you've seen and spun
Well you told me last night that you think
About how you and I met in the spring of our lives
You've regressed to the sting
Chasing your shadow in the mirror of the king
Hearing you sing
Raise me from the living I've come again
Raise me to the limits you gave me then
Save me from the river of sin again, again, again
Black River
Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger than me
Waiting to face the barrel when you call
Wither, wither, wither, wither in me
Ready to face the fire if you fall
And when you fall
Staring down the barrel of a gun
I knew that you would be the one
Raise a glass looking at the sun
Mimic life you've seen then spun
Well you told me last night that you think
About how you and I met in the spring of our lives
You've regressed to the sting
Chasing your shadow in the mirror of the king
Hearing you sing
Raise me from the living I've come again
Raise me to the limits you gave me then
Save me from the river of sin again, again, again
Black River
Black River
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And when you fall
Staring down the barrel of a gun
I knew that you would be the one
Raise a glass looking at the sun
Mimic life you've seen then spun
Well you told me last night that you think
About how you and I met in the spring of our lives
You've regressed to the sting
Chasing your shadow in the mirror of the king
Hearing you sing
Raise me from the living I've come again
Raise me to the limits you gave me then
Save me from the river of sin again, again, again
Black River
Black River
You'll chase, you'll wither, your sin, black river!
You'll chase, you'll wither, your sin, black river!
You'll chase, you'll wither, your sin, black river!
You'll chase, you'll wither, your sin, black river!
