Sunshine and a war machine I'm gettin ready for another stampede
 Grease the gears with blood paint it black as night
 Ride through the city like a Trojan horse
 Convinced what you're doin's all right

 Hold on 'till the river goes down the river goes to the sea
 Hold on the rive's comin' down on me
 The killin' field has come to main street
 Scatter guns in the liquor store
 Rifled sinkhole graves in concrete it's out of hand
 At black fathom 4

 Fallen leaves turn grey faces cold and worn
 Memories of a better time swept away like a firestorm
 Who can get it straight who can think it through
 When every time the telephone rings
 You think it's someone comin' after you

 Your mamma's shootin' Gallery wages
 Your daddy don't give a damn no more
 Keep these animals breakin' cages violent times
 At black fathom 4

 Walk into my world where brave can get you dead
 You get together and a fight breaks out
 Someone didn't understand what you said
 Walk into my world anger's in my soul
 Quick money give me double trouble
 Friends are doing hard times in the hole

 Children crying sniper thunder case the alleys and the corridors
 Don't look back it ain't no wonder it's open season
 At black fathom 4
