Lyrics
As I walk through the valley of the cousin of death
Eyes closed entering the black soul from my for-fathers guiltiness
For the crucifixion of your lord, for the taking of the Indians at the river fork
For the multitudes of your countries uncivil wars
As I walk through the valley of the cousin of death
Eyes closed entering the black soul from my for-fathers guiltiness
For the imprisonments and genocides, for the enslaving people across racial divides
For the taking of King, Lennon, and Kennedy?s lives
(Pre-chorus)
Wake up and I still
Need made up cause I feel
Transgressions I omit
Leave slip in my confessions to you
(Chorus)
More weight than words describe
Burden remains oceans wide
Across the shoulders collapse and hide
Can?t part the seas or stop the tide
Tried to separate you and me
Tried to separate you and me
More weight than words describe
Burden remains oceans wide
Across the shoulders collapse and hide
Can?t part the seas or stop the tide
As I walk through the valley of the cousin of death
Eyes closed entering the black soul from my for-fathers guiltiness
For making every woman less than me, for the amends that we?ll never see
For the governments that lie cheat steal and distort our history
(Pre-chorus)
Wake up and I still
Need made up cause I feel
My cynical voice remarks
And starts in on my reasons to lose
Wake up and I still
Need made up cause I feel
I need to straighten the maze
Clear haze in explanations to you
(Chorus)
More weight than words describe
Burden remains oceans wide
Across the shoulders collapse and hide
Can?t part the seas or stop the tide
Tried to separate you and me
Tried to separate you and me
More weight than words describe
Burden remains oceans wide
Across the shoulders collapse and hide
Can?t part the seas or stop the tide
Tried to separate you and me
Tried to separate you and me
