River King Lyrics

Misery Signals River King

[Intro]
Even words less than nothing
Even words less than nothing
Even words less than nothing
Even words less than...

[Pre-Chorus]
A shade in the falling dusk
Do we ever see

[Chorus]
Time spreads so wide
And all we reach is the moment
As narrow as it is
As narrow as it is

[Verse]
Now pay your toll
Here at the banks of the strait
Without a bridge for miles
Can't see across
Copper coin under tongue
To pay your toll
Passage to the ferryman
Bound to the further shore
[Pre-Chorus]
A shade in the falling dusk
Please let me see

[Chorus]
Time spreads so wide
And all we reach is the moment
As narrow as it is
As narrow as it is

[Bridge]
Build a vessel
That will not leak
With current so strong
On legs so weak
We must sail with
No wings to speak
Into an unknown
We all must face
Revel, rejoice
Rejoice and wade
Into the dark
Or into the dawn

[Breakdown]
Can't turn back
Can't stay still and drown
Can't point to a throne
Where you rule
Where you control
River King, River King
Can't turn back
The river flow
[Pre-Chorus]
Let
Let go of it

[Chorus]
Time spreads so wide
And all that we reach is the moment
As narrow as it is
As narrow as it is
