Carry me

I lay down by the river

The shadows moved across me, inch by inch

And all that I heard

Was the war between the water and the bridge

Turn to me, turn to me, turn to me

Turn and drink of me

Or look away, look away, look away

And never more think of me

Carry me

Carry me

I heard the many voices

Speaking to me from the depths below

This ancient wound

This catacomb

Beneath the whited snow

Come to me, come to me, come to me

Come and drink of me

Or turn away, turn away, turn away

And never more think of me

Carry me

Carry me away

Who will lay down their hammer?

Who will put up their sword?

And pause to see

The mystery

Of the Word

Carry me

Carry me

Carry me

Carry me away

Carry me

Carry me

Carry me

Carry me away
