The River Bed

(álbum: Crusades Of The Restless Knights - 1999)

I come down to the river
And I watched the sun go down
And I feel the earth shiver
And the darkness come circling round

I swore I would not come here
And I know I should not stay
Any thoughts heaven born I have
I choose to cast them away

She appears by the water
In the light of a quarter moon
She is dress in lace and velvet
And shades of grays and maroons

She knows without me speaking
Until I have her I cannot rest
And she smiles as she comes to me
And I lean down and kiss her breast

She rips the cross from my neck
She says "take me down to the river bed"
For once you have had me
You'll not be satisfied with the undead

We walk into the river
I cannot see the shore
I am baptized in dark waters
And I am hers forever more

Beneath my feet there's a rumble
In the heavens there are storms
I feel myself sinking into something dark and warm
