The River

I went down to the river
I jumped right in and I drowned
But there was nobody to see me
So I was never found
Nobody to come and call out my name
And drag my back my body to the ground
And that's how I always remember
The day....
I went out to desert
I laid right down and died
Wolves were eating my fingers
And the vultures were coming for eyes
With scoprions crawling all over my face
My body was covered with flies
And that's how I always remember
The day... that I was born
Born
Born
Born
And every time the words still ring
And all the scars still feel the same
And all the words don't mean a thing
I know the pain will start again
If there's a darkness in my soul
When will the darkness have a name
I'm moving faster and faster away
I'm moving faster and faster away
From the day I was born...
(Guitar solo)
I went up to the mountain
I buried my self in a cave
I made my peace with the silence
And I knew I would not be saved
I heard not a word, nor whisper
And I quietly faded away
And that's how I'll always remember
The day... that I was born...
Born
Born
Born
And all the faces start to fade,
All the mistakes that I have made
And now the clouds can melt away
And now the sun can shine again
If there's a darkness in my soul
I'll let the darkness walk with me
I'm moving faster and faster away
I'm moving faster and faster away
From the day I was born...
