River, river, carry me on
Living river, carry me on
River, river, carry me on
To the place where I come from
So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a ride
If I should fall, would you swallow me deep inside
River, show me how to float, I feel like I'm sinking down
Thought that I could get along
But here in this water, my feet won't touch the ground
I need something to turn myself around
Going away, away toward the sea
River deep, can you lift up and carry me
Oh roll on through the heartland
'Til the sun has left the sky
River, river, carry me high
'Til the washing of the water, make it all alright
Let your waters reach me, like she reached me tonight
Letting go, it's so hard, the way it's hurting now
To get this love untied
So tough to stay with this thing, cos if I follow through
I face what I denied
I'll get those hooks out of me
And I'll take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side
Kill that fear of emptiness, that loneliness I hide
River, oh river, river running deep
Bring me something that will let me get to sleep
In the washing of the water will you take it all away
Bring me something to take this pain away

This time I'll try not to get hurt
This time I'll stay untouched with pain and dirt
This time I'll stick to what I've learned
This time I'll fly so low I won't get burned
Maybe it's not enough
Maybe this time it's just too much
Maybe I'm not that tough
Maybe this time the road is just too rough
To walk down, so I sit down, mmh...
I've walked this road so many years
I've worn down all my boots, I've cried all tears
So many crossroads left behind
So many choices burned into my mind
Maybe it's not enough
Maybe this time it's just too much
Maybe I'm not that tough
Maybe this time the road is just too rough
To take me home
But I walk on

Gebet – Torsten Harder
03:22
|

|
Mein Herz ist zerrissen
Mein Geist ist erschöpft
Die Seele ist müde
Ich bin wie schwer verletzt
Der Mut ist stumpf und träge
Der Hoffnungsschimmer trüb
Gib mir von deinem Wasser
Dass ich wieder leb
Auf Wolken möchte ich wandern
Auf dem Wasser möchte ich gehen
Den Regen besingen
und lachend vor Bergen stehen
Mein Herz ist zerrissen
Mein Geist ist erschöpft
Höre mein Gebet
Wann hilfst du, wenn nicht jetzt
Auf Wolken werd ich wandern
Auf dem Wasser werd ich gehen
Den Regen besingen
und lachend vor Bergen stehen

The Cloak – Leprous
03:52

Drink a cup of emptiness
Tame the storm, in your head
Put a lid on your memories
Fighting darkness, with hollowness
Silence serving your need to escape
To think without thinking
Ignoring the cure
Will you cry tomorrow, reflecting on yesterday's action
Cry tomorrow trading your satisfaction
An illusion of peacefulness
Shutting down your senses
Adding colors, would make you burn
This comforting cloak of grey
Silence serving your need to escape
To think without thinking
Ignoring the cure
Will you cry tomorrow, reflecting on yesterday's action
Cry tomorrow trading your satisfaction
