The River Eternal - Rome

Into the glowing darkness

We travel the shining black serpent

That plugs us straight into the heart of this nightmare

At the end of this river

Is the end of this war

Its banks peopled with the dreams of men

Now penetrating the stillness

Throwing seeds into the wounds of the ruined land

Watching the jungle slide by

Passing the thundering smoke of the falls

At the end of this river

It will only smell of sickness and slow death

We were wrong, beyond wrong

To try and create a paradise

A calm on this raging stream

Everything is gone now

Even the bonds born out of terror

Even within this darkest of hearts

Upon this sleepless river

If only this were just madness

If only

If only
