The river rises through the floorboards
No draft can clear this heavy room
We keep the wax wick burning low
To cheat the shadow of the tomb
Wash us clean
In the black water
Break the bloodline (aaah-aaah)
The boarded windows cannot hold it
The family blood is turning gray
We trace the name into the plaster
Before it all gets washed away
Wash us clean
In the black water
Break the bloodline (ahhh)
