Ghost River

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
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)

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
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

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 we will drown drown, deeper down)
(The river wild will be our last ride)
(We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down)
(The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town)

Beautifully shy as you are
Never lose your heart and do come across

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
