Lyrics

I lay by the river
No way to hide what I had done

I lay by the river
My hatred all undone
Yeah my hatred all undone

The work of my hands
Is a bitter crime

The work of my hands
Will catch up to me in time
Will catch up to me in time

I have laid in wait for my enemies
Like a fox waits for a hen
But I am laying down all the hate in me
Cause my evil’s at an end
Yeah my evil’s at an end

I let go of my gun
And I watched it sink into the sand

I let go of my gun
Cause at last I understand
Yeah at last I understand

That death brings no justice
Yeah hate is its own reward

And so there by the banks of the Ebro
I beat a plowshare from my sword
Beat a plowshare from my sword

I have laid in wait for my enemies
Like a fox waits for a hen
But I know not what for
I’ll make war now more
For my evil’s at an end
Yeah my evil’s at an end
Oh, my evil’s at an end
