Dry the River lyrics

There was way too much water,

But these rivers refused to run dry

All world's wisdom lies buried beneath,

But these rivers... they refused to run dry

There was way too much water,

But these rivers refused to run dry

All world's wisdom lies buried beneath,

But these rivers... they refused to run dry

Disabled and unarmed

We are adrift on this sea of life

A shoreless tide of disorder,

Just to perish, just to sink

We reach the bottom faster than we think,

We run out of breath

Pass the realm of shades and reach their end,

Which is death...

Oh these rivers of nihil,

So called rivers of no return

Swallowed and will not disgorge me

For quite some time

They know their courses leading up

The happy hunting grounds

They know the time of day,

Know, dead people won't return...

I'm haunted by waters

Drawn together till the end of days

My dear, it will find me, wherever I may roam...

I feel enamoured, like moths are attracted to flames

I'm the deluge, the greatest flood of all,

My own nemesis...

...I am the flood...

...I am the flood...

Dry the river...

Dry the river...

Dry... Dry this river...

You can stop now, leading me up the garden path

I'm awoken, I see all people behind their masks

All these pale corpses hurrying along a winding path

Hurrying down these rivers, to their end,

Which is death...
