We were born by the water Wave, out of sand We were high The world seemed wide It was wide in the beginning Soft, it was sweet And they turned rusty and brown And they turned cold and they turned me Our gold turned to copper Poor in the end And we turned into shadows And we turned into sin But the world keeps on moving Another song, to sing And the river keeps our secret Buried within And we might meet on the other side Forever, and again And we might as well keep singing Yeah we might as well just see Were the goals of the river Were the goals of the river Spellbound by desire Spellbound by hate
