Nightwish - Ghost River lyrics

It's a long road down the river deep 'n wild
Every twist and turn a wonder dale
It's a scary ride we'd give anything to take
Let yourself bleed
Leave a footprint on every island you see

Hey you, child of rape, the riverbed await's
Snow white, pitch-black
Your life such strife heavenward, deep down
I'll show you such sights
Believe it, we live as we dream scream

He will go down he will drown drown
Deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down he will
Drown drown deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

He will go down he will drown drown
Deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down he will
Drown drown deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down he will drown drown
Deeper down if you want me, do come across

What is it you dream of, child of mine?
The magic ride, the mermaid cove?
Never met a kinder heart than yours
Let it bleed
Leave a footprint on every island you see

I am the painted faces, the toxic kiss
Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge
Come across death by a thousand cuts
Believe it, we live as we dream scream

He will go down he will drown drown
Deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down he will
Drown drown deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

He will go down he will drown drown
Deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down he will
Drown drown deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down he will drown drown
Deeper down
If you want me, then do come across

I am the desert-scape
The sand inside your hourglass
I am the fear and abuse, the leper children
Every eye sewn shut

We will go down we will drown drown
Deeper down
The river wild will be our last ride
We will go down we will drown drown
Deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

Beautifully shy as you are
Never lose your heart and do come across

He will go down he will
Drown drown deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down he will drown drown
Deeper down
If you want me, then do come across
