The river is wide
When the tide is high
Harboring you
Innocence hides
The devil inside
Deep in you
From the sea
Through the reeds
Creatures take you
Piece by piece
And there he lays
Just under the waves
Through and through
The river she cries
And the willow replied
Don't weep for him
Now the hour is late
The witch will awake
To stir her brew
Mosquitos are rife
Eat you alive
Prick by prick
They stuck you dry
A lone violin
For the killer within
Cries for you
The amber it bleeds
Down from the trees
In a silent hue
Above in the sky
The all-seeing eye
Glares down at you
Only heaven knows
What in hell bellows
And it pulls you down
Bone by bone
And there you'll stay
In a fiery grave
Sealed in doom

The river is wide
When the tide is high
Harboring you
Innocence hides
The devil inside
Deep in you
From the sea
Through the reeds
Creatures take you
Piece by piece
And there he lays
Just under the waves
Through and through
The river she cries
And the willow replied
Don't weep for him
Now the hour is late
The witch will awake
To stir her brew
Mosquitos are rife
Eat you alive
Prick by prick
They stuck you dry
A lone violin
For the killer within
Cries for you
The amber it bleeds
Down from the trees
In a silent hue
Above in the sky
The all-seeing eye
Glares down at you
Only heaven knows
What in hell bellows
And it pulls you down
Bone by bone
And there you'll stay
In a fiery grave
Sealed in doom
When the tide is high
Harboring you
Innocence hides
The devil inside
Deep in you
From the sea
Through the reeds
Creatures take you
Piece by piece
And there he lays
Just under the waves
Through and through
The river she cries
And the willow replied
Don't weep for him
Now the hour is late
The witch will awake
To stir her brew
Mosquitos are rife
Eat you alive
Prick by prick
They stuck you dry
A lone violin
For the killer within
Cries for you
The amber it bleeds
Down from the trees
In a silent hue
Above in the sky
The all-seeing eye
Glares down at you
Only heaven knows
What in hell bellows
And it pulls you down
Bone by bone
And there you'll stay
In a fiery grave
Sealed in doom
