RIVER TAKEN

Rhythmic river swirls in time
Full of dirt and dust and grime
Forms a coffin around me
My stomach flips, contents flee

It wrenches, dreams are gone
Darkness rises, never dawn
Dreams forsaken, river taken
Giving me that lovely achin'

I know that
Life can be
A lovely place
Why me? Why me?

River drowns out human race
Taking me to a cold dirt place
The waters steal my soul away
Karmic penance, I shall pay

I know that
Life can be
A lovely place
Why me? Why me?

I know that
Life can be
A lovely place
Why me? I see.
