Blackwater Song

How will I swim?
 Without those limbs?
 And then begin to tell the story of the one that threw me in?
 Into the river of
 Black waters flow
 Into the river of
 Black waters flow
 Down deep below
 Where currents tow
 Down deep beneath the serene surface of the water
 Swallowed whole
 Into the river of
 Black waters flow
 Into the river of
 Black waters flow
 And who will know
 as seasons go
 that what is left is sediment upon the banks
 where cattails grow
 Into the river of
 Black waters flow
 Into the river of
 Black waters flow
 What will I say?
 To God today?
 When only seconds seperate me from the breath of my last day
 Into the river of
 Black waters flow
 Into the river of
 Black waters flow
 Into the river of
 God rest your soul
