Brothers in suffering
Blood sisters in pain
Mother with another child
Getting ready to go out in the rain
And some are making offerings
Others playing other's games
And some are waiting for the end
Taking their lives in vain
Taking all that they can gain
And it's all in the name of love
(rivers of blood
Valley of tears)
A valley of tears
Living in a river
(rivers of blood
Valley of tears)
In a valley of tears
A valley of fear
The load is so heavy
The road is so rough
Mothers to their children are you ready?
To say enough is enough
And with feet so steady
Mind fixed on love
Although you feel you're dead already
And you never thought it's be so tough
But enough is enough
Rivers of blood
Rivers of blood and a valley of tears
Living in mud in a spell of fear
Rivers of blood and a valley of tears
Rivers of blood and rivers of tears
The edge is so sharp
And the blade is so fine
When you open your heart
You see blood flowing like wine
And you know that it has started
You're in the hands of time
And it's no time to be half-hearted
Because it's the blind leading the blind
Watching the time
Destroying all you can find
And it's into Love, out of Mind
Rivers of blood and a valley of tears
Out of the mud comes water so clear
Rivers of blood and a valley of tears
Delivered by love from a spell of fear
Rivers of blood and a valley of tears
A fountain of love from a well so near
What happened to love? Tell me lover so dear
I was living in mud
And shivering in fear
Cities of mud
Cities so cold
Cities of mud
Cities of gold
