By the river I sat down one day
Saw my life the other way
All those trials to no avail
Broken dreams was all I bloody gained
Way down,
Carry me down
To the River of Life!
Vindicate!
Remember well when I was a child
They promised me a paradise
But promises turned into lies
All they left us was a world demise!

In dreams I died a thousand times
But then one dream: A golden shrine
Her whispered words did soothe my grief

Way down,
Carry me down
To the River of Life!
Indicate!
I hear the call of the roaring sea
Still a fire's burning inside of me
The wind shall take me to another shore
The Earth I am, for evermore!
Way down,
Carry me down
