Blood Red River Lyrics

This is the proof that I want you
When I sail down the blood red river to your heart
This is the voice, that I once mistook
For an angel calling come to me come save me
Here’s a place that I once knew and I came to you for your heart
Here’s a gun that I brought with me
I'll take your blood with your life
Come with me
Come with me
Here is a life that I once had now washed away so I’ll have yours
Here is the time that I am needing still
So I'll take yours and you come for my heart
Then your life
Fair exchange
This is the proof that I want you
When I sail down the blood red river to your heart

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Please Help all you scientist fans, Love kim Salmon but his lyrics are very hard to interpret. Much of these lyrics are guessing. Thers are no scientists lyric sites that I have been able to find so hopefully this can be a start
