The choir of drowned men:
Let it drown. let it drown.
Charon, the coriphaeus:
Understand that rivers flow to the ocean
So will this one that now we sail
Understand the beauty in the need of these winds to come
Beautiful ship so fragile
See this fish that feeds the man that will feed the worm
Then to the salmon feed again
Does the fish ask why to die or to be born?
Why the worm, the hook, the man?
Let the long river run.
Drowned men:
We all gonna drown
Let the long river run
Charon
Life is short, friend, there's no time, you must realize
Till death takes you by the hand
Understand that to us all death is no surprise
So be prepared my dying friend
Let the long river run.
Charon
Life is short, friend, there's no time, you must realize
Till death takes you by the hand
Understand that to us all death is no surprise
So be prepared my dying friend
Let the long river run.
Drowned men:
We all gonna drown
Let the long river run
Charon & drowned men:
Waters go by beneath the skies
Running from my eyes
So far i sail, my will prevail
When wind ceases i will die.
Charon:
Understand you have to let the long river run
Understand you have to let the long river run
Let the long river run
Charon:
Inaction is action
Now you know the way
Let the long river run
Run over lover and mother
Possessions and mind distractions
Run over pushing too far
Run over family, enemies,
Religion, friendly prison,
Boring days and my guitar.
