The Shivering River of Dalhai - Poge

I went on the river for money, I sold my old rotten shack For a rusty tanker leaking oil, and the burning sun was on my back Traveled up the ragin' river, I watched the jungle burn And in the reddenin' twilight, I wondered would I ever return. Ridin' on a river of dreams, Broken dreams. I'm ridin' on a river of dreams. Amazon, Amazon, Is it heaven or hell? Amazon. An eagle flew above us, I felt the breezes blow. Fish with teeth like ivory, waited down below. On shore they cut and hammered, and fenced them in with wire. While ancient fires in the jungle, burned our souls like fire. Ridin' on a river of dreams, Somebody's dreams. I'm ridin' on a river of dreams. Amazon, Amazon, Is it Heaven or hell? Amazon. What kind of creature's gonna rise up from these ashes? What's gonna fly in the moonlight feathers aglow? What kind of rain could come in from these sorrows? Nobody knows, nobody knows. At dawn we crossed the rapids, a place where few men go. I felt the desolation, where nothing seemed to grow. When I got my wages, I hung my head and cried. I could not stop these visions, that swept in like the tide. Ridin' on a river of dreams, Broken dreams. I'm ridin' on a river of dreams. Amazon, Amazon, Is it Heaven or hell? Amazon. Oh, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon.

There's blood on the floor And you're not even moving Don't really know if it's mine or yours But you ain't moving Eyes are wide as you grin at me You know there's a place where you'd rather be If you should die and I survive How could I go on knowing that I'm still alive Here breathing There's a beast that's living deep within me Forcing me to feed all my needs Yeah he's in me And he brought us here to end our fears To wave goodbye to all of the tears To start a new life on the other side of the river Well my world would be over Hold on, hold on, I won't be long Wait for me, man, I won't be long You were such in a rush to reach the other side Look at yourself with that look in your eye Smiling wide and pre-occupied with that river Well my world would be over
