i pray for many things not all of them are good i know you d understand if you could only see if only i had wings i d leave here if i could but this moat s the only thing that keeps the world away from me and the water s too clear to hide river run red keep me safe behind the stone i have to rely on you i ve no shield of my own believe me i ve bled far too much for one lifetime so river if you hear me let no one cross the line this story s just begun it can t be over yet so much still to look forward to so much still to dread i know not everything can turn out as i wish but still there must be compromise between perfect and this the more i run for the door the further away it gets pinch me tell me i m dreaming cause i cannot reach the end river run red keep me safe behind the stone i have to rely on you i ve no shield of my own believe me i ve bled far too much for one lifetime so river if you hear me let no one cross the line believe me i ve bled far too much for one lifetime so river if you hear me let no one cross the line
