River of No Return
|
|
|
Break the bread and drink the wine
|
Seize the chalice, suck the poison vine
|
There is frost in every sunbeam
|
Water flows from the earth to sky
|
Looking down on every rose
|
Nothing moves, the wheel of heaven turns
|
As our fingers leave their trace
|
We are gods in a world we dared embrace
|
|
[chorus:]
|
Now we're lost, you can¡¯t disguise, the river of no return
|
Now it's time you realize, the river of no return
|
|
Glowing embers of our ancient lives
|
We struggle hard, we live to turn the tide
|
Living longer in the astral waste
|
We stare each other, we look death in the face
|
All my life, in front of you
|
Lonely secrets hidden from your view
|
Now we orbit a different sun
|
For eternity, doomed to tell no one
|
|
[chorus:]
|
Now we're lost, you can¡¯t disguise, the river of no return
|
Now it's time you realize, the river of no return
|
|
[solo]
|
|
Now I'm truly all alone
|
Canyon walls and the river of no return
|
I'm amazed at what I am
|
I never knew the feelings I ignored
|
|
[extended chorus:]
|
Now we're lost, you can¡¯t disguise, the river of no return
|
Now it's time we realize, the river of no return
|
And the anguish drives me on, I wish I could return
|
All the love that washed away
|
Down the river of no return
|
