Ghosts In The River

Lay me deep in the mountain
 Frozen limbs collapse as they climb
 The impossible horizon
 My will is broken
 My eyes have seen what they've always known
 Every man has a shadow behind him
 Every soul
 Every soul has a price in gold
 Out of breath
 We've stripped the lungs of its vessels and it's arteries
 And now we drown in death
 Numb to the pain of our man made blasphemy
 We're the ghost in the rivers
 So ashamed of our own reflection
 And the demons stare back with eyes as mirrors
 In a gaze forever fixed in our direction
 Fire and vine
 Human and serpent entwined
 Force down the hand of foul will
 As the world grows all the things it can kill
 Lay me deep in the waters
 Sunken limbs collapse as they try
 To reach for the shoreline
 Souls to left wade and wallow
 Cries of sorrow call my name
 My will is broken
 My eyes have seen what they've always known
 Every man has a shadow behind him
 Every soul has a price in gold
 We're the ghost in the rivers
 So ashamed of our own reflection
 And the demons stare back with eyes as mirrors
 In a gaze forever fixed in our direction
 Fire and vine
 Human and serpent entwined
 Force down the hand of foul will
 As the world grows all the things it can kill
