I want to fall into the river Listen to her sing Into her arms, the raging waters Let her current take me Far away from all the heartache All the misery Wash the blood from off my fingers From this witchery The river red tells a story Of anguish and glory The river red knows the secrets Where the bodies lie On her way, over days and centuries On her way, into the sea The river red wants to keep you Embrace you and break you The river red wants to drown you In bloodshed and chaos On her way, sweeping fate out of your hands Twisting like a snake out of the wounded land On our way, into the sea On our way, on the devil’s crimson tide In the blood of the tears the wretched dead have cried Never to return from the sea Return from the sea
