They are master and slave.
|
We are sunlight and shadow.
|
All roads to the river.
|
I am lost. I am saved.
|
I'm beloved and betrayed.
|
All roads to the river.
|
|
And the river runs wide,
|
And the river runs deep
|
And I spit in the eye
|
Of safe company.
|
When I dive right down
|
To the undertow
|
Well, the deeper I drown
|
Lord, the higher I'll go.
|
|
I am whispering dreams.
|
I am howling revolutions.
|
All roads to the river.
|
I am valentine sweet
|
And I live in this nightmare.
|
All roads to the river.
|
And the river runs wide,
|
The river runs deep
|
And I spit in the eye
|
Of safe company.
|
When I dive right down
|
To the undertow
|
Well, the deeper I drown
|
Lord, the higher I'll go.
|
|
This is nothing like we planned.
|
That's the way it's always been.
|
All roads to the river.
|
I have hated and I have loved.
|
I have prayed and I have sinned.
|
All roads to the river.
|
|
And the river runs wide,
|
The river runs deep
|
And I spit in the eye
|
Of safe company.
|
When I dive right down
|
To the undertow
|
Well, the deeper I drown
|
Lord, the higher I'll go.
