Water's flowing though my veins 
Nothing ever stays the same 
Water's flowing down my side 
Turn the water into wine 

Where's the courage I once had 
Where's the strength I once possessed 
To stand up tall and face the music 
Laughing in the face of death 

Here's a boy whose hands are bleeding 
Though he's never had a scratch 
Glory come and glory be 
Water's flowing now at last 

CHORUS 
Like a bad dream I once had where 
Everyone but me knew something 
Walking blind through the burning fields 
The dead brigade is on my heels 
They follow me--they follow me 

Water's flowing though my veins 
Nothing ever stays the same 
Flows outside for all to see 
Water flows through you and me 

Nothing ever stays the same 
Water turns to wine again 
Drink the wine & eat the wafer 
Lash the skin & scream together 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE 
Water's flowing through me 
Cut me open--let me bleed 
Silence is golden 
(But) Shout it out--Shout it out--Shout 

Water's flowing through my veins 
Nothing ever stays the same 
Through eyes that once were blind with passion 
Everything looks soft and grey 
Without color or rough edges 
Without fire to burn the skin 
Without pride and without reason 
Water turns to wine again 

Water's flowing through my veins 
Tell me now it's all the same 
Tell me that it doesn't matter 
Tell me everything's alright 

CHORUS 

Water's flowing through my veins 
Nothing ever stays the same 
Glory come and glory be 
Glory come to you and me 
Water's flowing through my veins .
