lyrics

this river is mute, flows in full, it runs too deep, no tide to be seen

the ferryman waits at the shore, to cross it once more
through the mist of these waters into the great unknown
we all have been warned: of us, only one will return
the stream seems so deep, the air is so cold, no reflection to look upon
inside the coffer, my heart is full, heavy with deeds, hope, and awe
crossing the river, angst disappears
there's nothing to doubt, nothing to fear

will you stand by my side, across the river, help me to carry my heart?

the smell of dawn, a salty evening wind, all the colours of the sun burning my skin
the first snow, falling so slow, sand under my feet, the rain singing along as seasons unfold
a rumbling thunder screams from afar, the growl of the tides breaking ashore
for sure, I will miss it all

but then we'll be free from ego, from fear, from suffering
but then we'll be free from lies, from hate, from agony
row! don't look back, row, just row!
