Nightwish - Ghost River Lyrics
It's a long road down the river deep 'n wildEvery twist and turn a wonder-daleIt's a scary ride we'd give anything to takeLet yourself bleedLeave a footprint on every island you seeHey you, child of rape, the riverbed awaitsSnow white, pitch-black, your life such strifeHeavenward, deep down, I'll show you such sightsBelieve it, we live as we dream / scream"He will go down he will drown drown, deeper downThe river wild will take your only childHe will go down he will drown drown, deeper downThe mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost townHe will go down he will drown drown, deeper downIf 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 yoursLet it bleedLeave a footprint on every island you see"I am the painted faces, the toxic kissSowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridgeCome acrossDeath by a thousand cutsBelieve it, we live as we dream / scream""I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglassI am the fear and abuse, the leper childrenEvery eye sewn shut""We will go down we will drown drown, deeper downThe river wild will be our last rideWe will go down we will drown drown, deeper downThe mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town"Beautifully shy as you areNever lose your heartAnd do come across
