Ghosts in the River

Lyrics

Lay me deep in the mountain Frozen limbs collapse as they climb The impossible horizon My will is broken My eyes have seen what they've always known Every man has a shadow behind him Every soul Every soul has a price in gold Out of breath We've stripped the lungs of its vessels and its arteries And now we drown in death Numb to the pain of our man made blasphemy We're the ghost in the rivers So ashamed of our own reflection And the demons stare back with eyes as mirrors In a gaze forever fixed in our direction Fire and vine Human and serpent entwined Force down the hand of foul will As the world grows all the things it can kill Lay me deep in the waters Sunken limbs collapse as they try To reach for the shoreline Souls left to wade and wallow Cries of sorrow call my name My will is broken My eyes have seen what they've always known Every man has a shadow behind him Every soul has a price in gold We're the ghost in the rivers So ashamed of our own reflection And the demons stare back with eyes as mirrors In a gaze forever fixed in our direction Fire and vine Human and serpent entwined Force down the hand of foul will As the world grows all the things it can kill
