The River Red

I want to fall into the river
Listen to her sing
Into her arms, the raging waters
Let her current take me

Far away from all the heartache
All the misery
Wash the blood from off my fingers
From this witchery

The river red tells a story
Of anguish and glory
The river red knows the secrets
Where the bodies lie

On her way, over days and centuries
On her way, into the sea

The river red wants to keep you
Embrace you and break you
The river red wants to drown you
In bloodshed and chaos

On her way, sweeping fate out of your hands
Twisting like a snake out of the wounded land
On our way, into the sea

On our way, on the devil’s crimson tide
In the blood of the tears the wretched dead have cried
Never to return from the sea
Return from the sea
