There is a black river It passes by my window And late at night All dolled up like Christ I walk the water Between the piers Singing Oh, river of sorrow River of time, river River of sorrow Don't swallow this time For we all know the baby has expired Long ago she was pulled from the mire And no precious liar or well-wisher Can return the love that was stolen So oh, river of sorrow River of time, river River of sorrow Don't swallow this time Can you see the light At the end of the dark passageway? Take me with you towards the light Into the darkness passing over the faces in the river Hear me, I'm whispering in your ear Oh, river of sorrow Oh, river of time River of sorrow Don't swallow this time Oh, river of sorrow Oh, river of time River of sorrow Don't swallow this time

Mmm, ooh Yeah, yeah Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh, what's becoming of me? Ride the tiger You can see his stripes, but you know he's clean Oh, don't you see what I mean? Gotta get away Holy Diver, yeah Shiny diamonds Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue Something is coming for you (look out) Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'til you see the light Oh, we will pray it's alright Gotta get away Get away Between the velvet lies There's a truth that's hard as steel The vision never dies Life's a never ending wheel, yeah Holy Diver You're the star of the masquerade No need to look so afraid (jump, jump) Jump on the tiger You can feel his heart, but you know he's mean Some light can never be seen, yeah Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh, what's becoming of me? No, yeah Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh, don't you see what I mean? Gotta get away Get away (get away) Gotta get away Get away, yeah Holy Diver Sole survivor Your heart is clean Yeah, Holy Diver (Holy Diver) Holy Diver (Holy Diver) You're caught in the middle coming after you, Holy Diver Oh, Holy Diver, Holy Diver Get away, get away, get away, come on

Time and time again I stand at the crossroad Where the weight of my burden Eclipses my resolve This broken path I've chosen I walk it alone Though I feel forgotten You've carved my name in stone In these desperate times This I plead When all else fails remember me This is daily crucifixion And these rusty nails leave scars My jagged crown is at my side Anguish is never far In these desperate times This I plead When all else fails remember me This is a blood-oath They are nothing to me anymore But your voice means more to me Than you'll ever know There's no question You're the answer I will find you In these desparate times This I plead When all else fails remember me In these desparate times This I plead (This I plead) When all else fails remember me

In these days that pass before me There was an anxious feeling that would hold me down Tearing me inside Bleeding my spirit This... this is the turning point, the rising of the tide No fear inside This... this is the change that takes the suffering away No more wasting time Face the pain that suffocates As the past returns to torment me Wallow in my scars Save me before I break This... this is the turning point, the rising of the tide No fear inside This... this is the change that takes the suffering away No more wasting time Find the strength to maintain Give me, give me a reason to believe Search for truth that will not change Give me, give me a reason to believe Find the strength to maintain Give me, give me a reason to believe Search for truth that will not change Give me, give me a reason to believe Find the strength to maintain Search for truth that will not change Find the strength to maintain
