Hell and High Water Lyrics
get up on your feet show us your teeth
tear down the gods of your fathers
in this flickering light this darkening dawn
pray for the saints to come marching
here we were born to wander
running from the spell we’re under
bless us all hell and high water
i swallowed it down kept my mouth shut
while I was crawling out of my cage
and these are the days i still have this rage
right from the cradle to middle age
here we were born to wander
running from the spell we’re under
bless us all hell and high water
bring it down now bring it all down
we were born in the mud washed in the blood
here's where our bones will be buried
for now we're holding on tight praying for light
building these crosses to carry
get up on your feet show us your teeth
tear down the gods of your fathers
in this flickering light this darkening dawn
pray for the saints to come marching
here we were born to wander running from the spell we’re under
bless us all hell and high water
tear down the gods of your fathers
in this flickering light this darkening dawn
pray for the saints to come marching
here we were born to wander
running from the spell we’re under
bless us all hell and high water
while I was crawling out of my cage
and these are the days i still have this rage
right from the cradle to middle age
here we were born to wander
running from the spell we’re under
bless us all hell and high water
here's where our bones will be buried
for now we're holding on tight praying for light
building these crosses to carry
tear down the gods of your fathers
in this flickering light this darkening dawn
pray for the saints to come marching
bless us all hell and high water
