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
|
|
chorus:
|
"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
|
|
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
|
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"
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
"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
|
|
(repeat chorus)
