The Haunted River Lyrics

Green water
Black stones
Bones chilled
Freezing cold

Pockets full
Weighs you down
Sinking slow
Till You drown

The haunted river
Floweth into my soul
For I once sank
Where you sink now

The haunted river
Green waters forever flow
Perpetual erosion
Black stones for us to drown

Yes
I am a ghost
I sought you
As keenly as you have sought your own death
But Let me tell you
Of the nature of death
There is no road to heaven
No pearly gates to gaze upon
There is no end to this tragedy
Because there is no end
So what you seek
Offers about as much substance
As an apparition
But although I'm a ghost
I am more real than god

Spectrums and waves
The cycles never cease
Monuments of flesh
Merely specters to be
On and on and on
Wheel turning round
As we seek a demise
That never comes

All meanings lost
All lessons forgotten
The light in the darkness only reveals
The folly is ours
One lifetime we come to find
We have always been the fool
You have always been me
And I have always been you

The haunted river
Floweth into my soul
For I once sank
Where you sink now

The haunted river
Green waters forever flow
Perpetual erosion
Black stones for us to drown

Forever for us to drown
