Could I cross the Jordan, without dampening my feet
Could I float above this strife, keep from shivering in the reeds
Must I strike you oh you marked as Cain?
For they say to be a player, shoot my shot and dig your grave
Maybe a plague could warm my feet
River of blood wash over me
I know it's time, can't run from this tonight
What's your alibi I'll paint my face tally your
I know they're coming for you
I see how it started, the ground soaked in his blood
The relics of my brother cried upon your kin a flood
And your city left in decay for the lasting dogs and beasts
Left clawing, and gnashing, at the door of the feast
Tables only have so many seats
I'll make sure one is saved for me
I know it's time, designate a sacrifice
An eternal paradigm, I'll turn your cheek towards the divine
Now I'm falling with you
