Blind man on the corner
Head still in the womb
Wise man waiting longer
Waiting for river's bloom
Blood river's bloom
Wise man getting taller
Waiting on a bigger room
Blind man getting shorter
Heading for the river's doom
Blood river's doom
Blind man on the wayside
Heading for another fight
Wise man on the train tracks
Heading for other sights
That river flows on through
And its red rubies lead on to
Where the dark is light as noon
Wise man does not stumble
He is safe in the deepest sea
Wise man waits in sweet sleep
To sound of the river's tune
Blood river's tune
Blind man gulled his neighbour
Heard the roar of the thunder
Bathes in blissful ruin
And drowns in its shallow sea
Blood river screams
Blind man bound his treasure
To the waist of his lover
Rejected his advisers
At the cost of all his plunder
That river flows on through
And its red rubies lead on to
Where the dark is light as noon
Wise man met the blind man
And they talked for a little while
Gave him all that he'd been given
In the hope he'd see him smile
Blood river's smile
So they laid out in the garden
Well watered as any home
Rebuilt the ancient ruins
Now they walk the same hard road
Blood river's road
