lyrics

Chorus:
Hold me down in the river of judgement
Down in the river I say
Hold me down in the river of judgement
Not to wash my sins away
Hold me down in the river of judgement
Down in the river I plead
Hold me down in the river of judgement
For I’m a spawn of the devils seed

I relented then repented ‘neath the moon
On my knees, I howled a prayer
A sea of tears, a sea of stars; a sea of light
Still, those blind temptations led me astray

(Chorus)

Fears I allayed while I betrayed in the same breath
With Judas kiss I pledged my vow
Along the road, strangers would open their doors to me
I simply gorged myself and drank their cellars dry

(Chorus)

With scheming head and treacherous heart, I carved my path
A trail of wreckage at my heel
A thief, a bigot, a fornicator and a liar
In sinful greed and baleful deed, I beat the drum

(Chorus)

The sound is heartfelt and raw, the influences primal and instinctive. The core group of Paul on drums and Steve on guitar and vocals is augmented by upright bass, brass and keys. ... more
