My Dying Bride - Your River lyrics

In powerful rain, they laid down their heads to die

Let your dark, thirsty eyes drink deep the sights of me

It's sad that, in our blindness, we gather thorns for flowers

Your river holds a feast of danger

The suffering you have had to bear

I'd die for that moment one more time

The loved one falls below your ideals

Pleasure too safely enjoyed lacks zest

The brave lick their sickening lips

Rigid, handsome and a poet

A king in his passionate castle

Where now?

Feed me!

Hold me!

Save me!

Save yourself!

Where now?

Which way?

Dear god, show me

Take your own!

Struggle free!

Arise!

You're ruined!

Stand down!

Your kin, piled thick around you

Save yourself
