River in search of a sea
imprisoned blood
on the killing spree
sea in want of rivers
cold remorseless wind
gives our wave the shivers
look how high the water rises
see how far removed the sun
so blind now to compromises
we remember songs no more
confronting one's darkness
from the farthest shore
in eclipse the river runs fallow
to light a candle
is to cast a shadow

River in search of a sea
imprisoned blood
on the killing spree
sea in want of rivers
cold remorseless wind
gives our wave the shivers
look how high the water rises
see how far removed the sun
so blind now to compromises
we remember songs no more
confronting one's darkness
from the farthest shore
in eclipse the river runs fallow
to light a candle
is to cast a shadow
