Acoustic Version of older song.

lyrics

A lonely river
Long shadows cast by the sun
A dark vessel drifting slowly
A figure on the bow
Hunched over seemingly unaware of the world
Whispering prayers to the waves

Please save me, I´m bleeding
Please listen, I´m falling
Can´t you help me, I cannot reach the shore
I am drifting further away

And blood covers his hands

Save me I´m bleeding
Give me a current, guide me to the shore
Please, I´ve paid enough
For a lifetime he´s driven the stake into his own heart

Never forget, never forgive

Deeper, slower, the stake pierces his heart
The wound burning hotter, his soul´s turning colder
As the stake drains his life
As his blood leaves his veins
He smiles at the lie

He lets the rain kiss his brow
Let it wash away the blood
Cleaning himself of his life
Still knowing the dismal truth
There is no wound

For the river is endless and he is trapped in its swirl
For an eternity he will impale himself
And no living soul will ever know him
He will never touch land again

And he whispers one name

He is blind but to one face
He is deaf but to one voice
Forever he will long for her touch
Forever he will know that her love for him is forever lost

Please save me, I´m bleeding
Please help me, I´m drifting
Can you hear me, hear my prayers
I´m drifting further away
