The Amity Affliction - Don't Wade In The Water Lyrics

The Amity Affliction Lyrics

"Don't Wade In The Water"

When the light's down low
Everything will glow
Only love will save his soul
When the stars align
Will he drown in fire
Or will our love have saved his soul?

Don't wade in the water babe
Maybe we will come undone
Don't wade in the water now
Surely it'll kill our love
There's a cold rain on the way
Got an ice storm in my heart
Don't wade in the water
You can't stop the pain once you start
Another blue day in his eyes
There is a cold rain gonna pour
Don't wade in the water
It's not the peace you're looking for
Don't wade in the water
The devil's gonna take your son
Don't wade in the water
The devil's gonna crush your love

When the light's down low
Everything will glow
Only love will save his soul
When the stars align
Will he drown in fire
Or will our love have saved his soul?

Don't walk in the fire, love
You're gonna make us come undone
Don't walk in the fire
You'll only end up alone
Gonna wade in the water, love
Let the fever calm down some
Gonna wade in the water
Let me try reduce the harm

You're living a lie - forcing his silence
You're living a lie - religion is violence

You're living a lie - forcing his silence
You're living a lie - religion is violence

When the light's down low
Everything will glow
Only love will save his soul
When the stars align
Will he drown in fire
Or will our love have saved his soul?
Will our love have saved his soul?
Will our love have saved his soul?

When the light's down low
Everything will glow
Only love will save his soul
When the stars align

Vocalist Joel Birch said of "Don't Wade In The Water", "It's a song about my mother and father and the role the church had in separating them, and then the role that the church and religion played in my later life. Obviously, it is a play on the old hymn sung by Ella Jenkins, which is a beautiful, beautiful song. I wanted to contrast that with my own personal experience, which was disenfranchising to say the least."
