Black Surrender

I’ve been down this lowly river
Ran the waves between my feet
Felt the danger slither closer
Watched my hands turn to the enemy
And I’ve sat here on my dirty knees
Waiting for the angel to poison me
Accept into me, then I’ll fall
Someone, can you hear the echo
Someone, can you see the end
If what is left could only be so strong
I’d chance it once
Then die before the land
