River King

Even words less than nothing Even words less than nothing Even words less than nothing Even words less than... A shade in the falling dusk Do we ever see Time spreads so wide And all we reach is the moment As narrow as it is As narrow as it is 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 A shade in the falling dusk Please let me see Time spreads so wide And all we reach is the moment As narrow as it is As narrow as it is 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 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 Let Let go of it Time spreads so wide And all that we reach is the moment As narrow as it is As narrow as it is
