The Riverbed Lyrics

The Riverbed lyrics

Moon,
How it falls on the field down among us.
Rain,
falls on the king,
and his men on the riverbed.
Now,
Now we meet after all these
years.

Do you my king, do you remember me?

Yeah, I see your face
before me now.

And I'm telling you tonight, that I know we
belong,
Beyond this life.
The war has taken its turn, and it ain't ever
turning back.

I grew to be a man 
A man who grew to be a king.
Got
a job at the mill,
And when the war came
I signed up for you.

Every
day now,
I send a letter to the people back home.
Oh, I bet you long for
the life that you lived.
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this
war.
And I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong,
And we
must die.
Well, now the shells are hammering down on the
riverbed.

Drums roll,
And we must go.
We must go, the enemy is
upon us.
Rise from your knee,
And now, pull to the bridge.

Oh,
brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now.
Go on, go on, on up from
the riverbed.
For I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was
wrong,
And we must die.
It doesn't matter much now anyway,
Tonight we
unite.

And when we're pushing through, 
I turn around one last
time,
And through the fire and the rain
I see the king's white
flag.

The king lives on,

But everyone

Everybody dies.
