|
I have travelled far unto this pagan hole where nothing is real a place so pure as gold she runs deep and strong twisting like a snake a thousand miles long a terror like a storm on the river, on the river (...?) jangled tears the shadows hold me near burn down the dawn (...?) deep inside my heart I can feel he is near me cold sweat drips down illusion and fear on the river, on the river gunshot river demon hands of love hands of treason ( ... ??? ... ) on the river, on the river turnaround, turnaround yeah turnaround beating the darkside, yeah the darkside turnaround darkside yeah turnaound beating the darkside ... I have travelled far unto this pagan hole where nothing is real a place so pure as gold deep inside my heart I can feel he is near me cold sweat drips down illusion and fear on the river ... | |
