Well, I walk upon the river like it's easier than land
Evil's in my pocket and your will is in my hand
Oh, your will is in my hand

And I'll throw it in the current that I stand upon so still
Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill
Oh, mine has learned to kill

Oh, I said I could rise
From the harness of our goals
Here come the tears
But like always, I let them go
Just let them go

And now spikes will keep on falling from the heavens to the floor
The future was our skin and now we don't dream anymore
No, we don't dream anymore

Like a house made from spider webs and the clouds rolling in
I bet this mighty river's both my savior and my sin
Oh, my savior and my sin

Oh, I said I could rise
From the harness of our goals
Here come the tears
But like always, I let them go
Just let them go

Well, I walk upon the river like it's easier than land
Evil's in my pocket and your strength is in my hand
Strength is in my hand

And I'll throw you in the current that I stand upon so still
Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill
Oh, mine has learned to kill

Oh, I said I could rise
From the harness of our goals
Here come the tears
But like always, I let them go
Just let them go

Beh, cammino sul fiume come se fosse più facile che sulla terraferma
Il male è nelle mie tasche e la tua volontà è nelle mie mani
Oh, la tua volontà è nelle mie mani

E lo getterò nella corrente su cui sto così fermo
L'amore è tutto, da quello che ho sentito, ma il mio cuore ha imparato a uccidere
Oh, il mio ha imparato ad uccidere

Oh, ho detto che potevo alzarmi
Dall'imbracatura dei nostri obiettivi
Ecco che arrivano le lacrime
Ma come sempre, li ho lasciati andare
Lasciali andare e basta

E ora le punte continueranno a cadere dal cielo al pavimento
Il futuro era la nostra pelle e ora non sogniamo più
No, non sogniamo più

Come una casa fatta di ragnatele e nuvole che rotolano dentro
Scommetto che questo fiume possente è sia il mio salvatore che il mio peccato
Oh, il mio salvatore e il mio peccato

Oh, ho detto che potevo alzarmi
Dall'imbracatura dei nostri obiettivi
Ecco che arrivano le lacrime
Ma come sempre, li ho lasciati andare
Lasciali andare e basta

Beh, cammino sul fiume come se fosse più facile che sulla terraferma
Il male è nelle mie tasche e la tua forza è nelle mie mani
La forza è nelle mie mani

E ti getterò nella corrente su cui mi trovo così immobile
L'amore è tutto, da quello che ho sentito, ma il mio cuore ha imparato a uccidere
Oh, il mio ha imparato ad uccidere

Oh, ho detto che potevo alzarmi
Dall'imbracatura dei nostri obiettivi
Ecco che arrivano le lacrime
Ma come sempre, li ho lasciati andare
Lasciali andare e basta
