Every twist and turn a wonder-dale
It's a scary ride we'd give anything to take
Let yourself bleed
Leave a footprint on every island you see
Hey you, child of rape, the riverbed awaits
Snow-white, pitch-black, your life such strife
Heavenward, deep down, I'll show you such sights
Believe it, we live as we dream/scream
He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down
If you want me, then do come across
What is it you dream of child of mine?
The magic ride, the mermaid cove?
Never met a kinder heart than yours
Let it bleed
Leave a footprint on every island you see
I am the painted faces, the toxic kiss
Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge
Come across
Death by a thousand cuts
Believe it, we live as we dream/scream
I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglass
I am the fear and abuse, the leper children
Every eye sewn shut
We will go down he will drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will be our last ride
We will go down he will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
Beautifully shy as you are
Never loose your heart
And do come across
It's a long road down the river deep 'n wild Every twist and turn a wonder-dale It's a scary ride we'd give anything to take Let yourself bleed Leave a footprint on every island you see Hey you, child of rape, the riverbed awaits Snow-white, pitch-black, your life such strife Heavenward, deep down, I'll show you such sights Believe it, we live as we dream/scream He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down The river wild will take your only child He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down If you want me, then do come across What is it you dream of child of mine? The magic ride, the mermaid cove? Never met a kinder heart than yours Let it bleed Leave a footprint on every island you see I am the painted faces, the toxic kiss Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge Come across Death by a thousand cuts Believe it, we live as we dream/scream I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglass I am the fear and abuse, the leper children Every eye sewn shut We will go down he will drown drown, deeper down The river wild will be our last ride We will go down he will drown drown, deeper down The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town Beautifully shy as you are Never loose your heart And do come across Explain Request ×
