Violent flow, tidal wave
Surging, boiling, current growing stronger
Stirring of the water

The trickle that started now runs mighty
To an unknown destination
Silent, deep, heaving shake

Sudden turning, rocking, and moving
Shocking quake
A tremble in the earth

That many hearts have heard
The truth brings with it wonder
So close it sounds like hunger


Chorus:
Underground river

Flowing through your city
Taking lives, breaking lives, sweeping lives
Into an underground river

And the rain is pouring
The level is rising
And the white washed walls

Scream as they fall
Nothing stops the river
No, nothing stops the river


The day you were born
Empty religion from schools of the learned

Left you bleeding
Glory hungry men, gave no answers
Yeah, they were the problem

So many had to pay
It's enough to drive you away
But there's an


(Chorus)
