Lyrics
The River Eternal
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.
Into the glowing darkness
We travel the shining black serpent
That plugs us straight into the heart of this nightmare
At the end of this river
Is the end of this war
Its banks peopled with the dreams of men
Now penetrating the stillness
Throwing seeds into the wounds of the ruined land
Watching the jungle slide by
Passing the thundering smoke of the falls
At the end of this river
It will only smell of sickness and slow death
We were wrong, beyond wrong
To try and create a paradise
A calm on this raging stream
Everything is gone now
Even the bonds born out of terror
Even within this darkest of hearts
Upon this sleepless river
If only this were just madness
If only
If only
