Amorphis – The River Song
The River Song [Verse 1] I have roamed the riverside Tore my way through the thickets Stumbled through the stony swards Waded through the whitewaters Searched the stones for secret signs Looked for portents on the boulders Hearkened to the whispering woodland Winds that stir the wide wilds [Chorus] Yet I failed to find the sign The red hand to show my path So I hope there is no blame If I cut my own right hand [Verse 2] Hidden highways I have found Where the dark deer travel Trails of the swift and the silent Silver wolves of the woods Saw the schools of shiny salmon Wily rising up the river And the flocks of flying fowl Wings versed in the ways of winds Wings versed in the ways of winds [Chorus] Yet I failed to find the sign The red hand to show my path So I hope there is no blame If I cut my own right hand Under the starry skies Once again, I rest my head And the river of my fate Sings to me its ancient song [Bridge] "You have been here before You have been here before" [Chorus] Yet I failed to find the sign The red hand to show my path So I hope there is no blame If I cut my own right hand Under the starry skies Once again, I rest my head And the river of my fate Sings to me its ancient song: [Outro] "You have been here before When the rapids roared louder When the words came from the waters Speaking truth and untruth" |
