Still Waters

A Silt Verses fansong, for Carpenter Lyrics: I walk down by my still waters Await the flood to rise Swallow the streets, come up through the gutters Cast this world aside You the terror in my heart, With surface mirror still And riptides calm, I carry on And trudge down through the silt I walk down by my rivers edge Alone, wait for the tide Over the banks, through the reeds and sedge To cast this world aside The quiet of the drowning deep And rolling rage that lies beneath With lonely heart and spiteful hand At the water’s edge I stand I walk down by my still waters Await the flood to rise Swallow the streets, come up through the gutters Cast this world aside My river, carry me alone As tides rise in my blood The current flows, through flesh and bone The fury and the flood
