I am master and slave.
I am sunlight and shadow.
I am all roads to the river.
I am lost, I am saved.
I am beloved and betrayed.
All roads to the river.

And the river runs wide,
The river runs deep.
And I spit in the eye of safe company.
When I dive right down to the undertow,
The deeper I drown, the higher I go.

I am whispering dreams.
I am howling revolutions (revolutions).
All roads to the river.
I am valentine sweet.
I am every mother's nightmare (nightmare).
All road to the river.

The river runs wide,
The river runs deep.
I spit in the eye of safe company.
Gonna dive right down to the undertow,

I dream of still water,
Silent and clear.
But I run for the thunder,
That'll drown my fear.

Instrumental break.

And he river runs wide,
The river runs deep.
And I spit in the eye of safe company.
Gonna dive right down to the undertow,
'Cause the deeper I drown, higher I go.
