Underground River

Violent flow
Tidal wave, surging, boiling
Current growing stronger
Stirring of the water
Trickle started, now rushes mighty
To an unknown destination

Silent, deep
Heaving shake, sudden turning
Rocking and moving, shocking quake
Trembling earth
Many hearts have heard
The truth brings with it wonder
So close it sounds like thunder

Underground river
Flowing through your city
Taking lives, breaking lives
Sweeping lives
Into an underground river
And the rain is pouring
The level is rising
And the whitewashed walls
Scream as they fall
Nothing stops the river
No, nothing stops the river

The day you were born
Empty religion from schools of the learning
Left you bleeding
Glory hungry men, gave no answers
Yeah, they were the problem
So many had to pay
It's enough to drive you away

But there's an underground river
Flowing through your city
Taking lives, breaking lives
Sweeping lives
Into an underground river
And the rain is pouring
The level is rising
And the whitewashed walls
Scream as they fall
Nothing stops the river
No, nothing stops the river

You're getting carried away

Underground river
Flowing through your city, whoa...
Taking, breaking, sweeping lives

It's an underground river
And it's flowing through your city
Yes, it's taking lives, breaking lives
Sweeping lives
It's an underground river
And it's flowing through your city
Underground river, ooh-ooh-ooh...

(Underground river, underground...)
