River flows, waves burn in their marks

Banks of life are charred to the heart

White-hot eyes slowly fade

Embers of memories, smouldering faith

River flows, waves burn in their marks...

Can you hear my voice?

This flood is so high nowhere to run

Sheet ice of life thaws...

Some passing looks and I'll be gone

River flows, waves burn in their marks

Banks of life are charred to the heart

Footsteps are to wash away

Eyes to close, shroud to lay

River flows, waves burn in their marks

Orbit of my questions

Orbit of your lies

Draws an arch over my melting days

Orbit of my questions

Orbit of your lies

Draws a court for life to believe in a play

Someone looks for a shepherd

Someone looks for a sheep

The same old story's told for thousands of years

Orbit of my questions

Orbit of your lies

Rising, falling and a couple of days between...
