Alison Krauss - The Scarlet Tide lyrics
When I recall his parting words
 Must I accept his fate
 Or take myself far from this place
 I thought I heard a black bell toll
 A little bird did sing
 Man has no choice
 When he wants everything
 We'll rise above the scarlet tide
 That trickles down through the mountain
 And separates the widow from the bride
 Man goes beyond his own decision
 Gets caught up in the mechanismAlison Krauss - The Scarlet Tide - http://motolyrics.com/alison-krauss/the-scarlet-tide-lyrics.html
 of swindlers who act like kings
 And brokers who break everything
 The dark of night was swiftly fading
 Close to the dawn of day
 Why would I want him just to lose him again
 We'll rise above the scarlet tide
 That trickles down through the mountain
 And separates the widow from the bride
 We'll rise above the scarlet tide
 That trickles down through the mountain
 and separates the widow from the bride.
