Verse II:

Away, away
You have been banished
Your land is gone and given me
And here I will spread my wings

What's this you say?
You feel a right to remain? Then stay
And I will bury you

Bridge:

Bere's the hitch, your horse is leaving
Don't miss your boat its leaving now
B5And as you go I will spread B5my wings
B5Yes I will call B5this home

Bridge II:

gI have no time
To justify B5to you. Fool you're blind
Now move asidB5e for me
gAll I can say
To you my new B5neighbor is you must move on
Or I will B5bury you
Now as I rB5est my feetB5 by this fire
Those handB5s once warmed here, welB5l I have retired them
And I can brB5eathe my own air andB5 I can sleep more soundly
Upgon these poor souls
I'll build BB5eaven and call iB5t home
Cause your all dead now

End:

c/BAnd I live with B5my justice
And I live with my greedy need
I'm gonna live with no mercy
And I'll live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
And I'll live with my jealousy
I'm gonna live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me....
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
Don't drink the water
