There is something dark in your head
Something dark and beautiful
I forbid destruction
I forbid the war
I forbid the wheel from turning on
Societies always change
But the river
You can dance through the night
Till the dawn of the day
I'm something that creeps in your mind
And you want it to stay
I forbid seduction
I forbid the love
I forbid the feeling
Wazoa
Societies always change but the river
River never flows both ways
Societies always change but the river
Take five feet forward and a two steps back
Take five feet forward and a two steps back
Take five feet forward and a two steps back
Take five feet forward... and two steps back
Be wise for your sisters
Troubles clean the soul
Mamma said resist her
They are coming for her now
Feel if you flake inside
Burn believes away
The dreams that live within your mind
Hoping to find pray
Seep back inside the power
And poems turn to lies
As minutes turn to hours
The heirs that turn to dust
They say that's that
Societies always change
But the river
