[Verse 1]
You were drinking from the shallows
Jaw still wet with silver scales
Sun on your back
Stripes burning in the heat
I heard the mud start trembling
Saw the flocks explode in sky
You turned your head
Too slow for what came crashing
[Chorus]
Blood in the river
Red on my claws
I tore at the distance
I shattered my roar
But teeth were already on you
Your eyes already dimmer
All I can see
Forever
Is your blood in the river
[Verse 2]
He rose up like a mountain
Stone and hunger
Ragged breath
Your scream cut through the cattails
Then cut straight through my chest
I lunged
I slipped on gravel
Water thrashing at my knees
Your tail went still
Your scent turned sharp and empty
[Chorus]
Blood in the river
Red on my claws
I tore at the distance
I shattered my roar
But teeth were already on you
Your eyes already dimmer
All I can see
Forever
Is your blood in the river
[Bridge]
You looked back once
Not at him
At me
At me
There was a world
Before this flood
Before this iron
In the mud
Now every ripple
Writes your name
Every current
Feels the same
Cold and cruel
Pulling you
Away from me
[Chorus]
Blood in the river
Red on my claws
I tore at the distance
I shattered my roar
But teeth were already on you
Your eyes already dimmer
All I can see
Forever
Is your blood in the river
Your blood in the river
blood in the river
Chords not available
Beat not available
[Verse 1]
You were drinking from the shallows
Jaw still wet with silver scales
Sun on your back
Stripes burning in the heat
I heard the mud start trembling
Saw the flocks explode in sky
You turned your head
Too slow for what came crashing
[Chorus]
Blood in the river
Red on my claws
I tore at the distance
I shattered my roar
But teeth were already on you
Your eyes already dimmer
All I can see
Forever
Is your blood in the river
[Verse 2]
He rose up like a mountain
Stone and hunger
Ragged breath
Your scream cut through the cattails
Then cut straight through my chest
I lunged
I slipped on gravel
Water thrashing at my knees
Your tail went still
Your scent turned sharp and empty
[Chorus]
Blood in the river
Red on my claws
I tore at the distance
I shattered my roar
But teeth were already on you
Your eyes already dimmer
All I can see
Forever
Is your blood in the river
[Bridge]
You looked back once
Not at him
At me
At me
There was a world
Before this flood
Before this iron
In the mud
Now every ripple
Writes your name
Every current
Feels the same
Cold and cruel
Pulling you
Away from me
[Chorus]
Blood in the river
Red on my claws
I tore at the distance
I shattered my roar
But teeth were already on you
Your eyes already dimmer
All I can see
Forever
Is your blood in the river
Your blood in the river
blood in the river
