Ghost River lyrics

It’s a long road down the river deep ‘n wild

Every twist and turn a wonder-dale

It’s a scary ride we’d give anything to take

Let yourself bleed

Leave a footprint on every island you see

Hey you, child of rape, the riverbed awaits

Snow white, pitch-black, your life such strife

Heavenward, deep down, I’ll show you such sights

Believe it, we live as we dream / scream

“He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down

The river wild will take your only child

He will go down he will drown drown deeper down

The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town (x2)

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down

If you want me, then do come across”

What is it you dream of, child of mine?

The magic ride, the mermaid cove?

Never met a kinder heart than yours

Let it bleed

Leave a footprint on every island you see

“I am the painted faces, the toxic kiss

Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge

Come across

Death by a thousand cuts

Believe it, we live as we dream / scream”

“He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down

The river wild will take your only child

He will go down he will drown drown deeper down

The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town (x2)

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down

If you want me, then do come across”

“I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglass

I am the fear and abuse, the leper children

Every eye sewn shut”

“We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down

The river wild will be our last ride

We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down

The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town”

Beautifully shy as you are

Never lose your heart

And do come across

“He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down

The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down

If you want me, then do come across”
