Lyrics
The River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where have you gone to hide this time?
When will you face me for your crimes?
You have always been concealed by your lies and your tricks
Now the wall you hide behind is six feet thick
They can't protect you from death
I will see you again
And I will come to collect when I cross the river
Oh, you slip through my hands like smoke from the flame
You think you're safe in the ground, deep down in the grave
You think that you'll get you rest, not if I've got a say
I'll come to you in your sleep and shake you awake
Oh take my advice and run for cover
There's nowhere to hide from the thunder
They can't protect you from death I will see you again
And I will come to collect
When I cross the river
Oh take my advice and run for cover
There's nowhere to hide from the thunder
They can't protect you from death I will see you again
And I will come to collect
When I cross the river
