Your soul is black Your blood is cold Your skin is rough You have a heart of gold
Your face so dark Feel clammy hair Upon your flesh Wet creatures everywhere Gives me a shiver
[Chorus] Wild river You stole my eyes Never gave them back You tried to kiss me And sent a shiver Round my neck Wild river Wet golden shrine You sold my mind and Tried to kill me Sent a shiver down my spine
You hate the sun But rain is nice You love the snow But you are afraid of ice
You’re dressed in mud Unsafe to dive I want your gold But you want my life
[Chorus]
You tried to drown me Never mind to swim And tried to eat me Put a shiver on my skin You tried to hold me With million fins And tried to heal me Wash off my sins
Your kingdom come We kneeling on the planks All the trees bend over on the banks Gives me a shiver
[Chorus]
You tried to hold me With million fins And tried to eat me Bite of my sins You tried to drown me Never mind to swim And tried to kill me Set a shiver on my skin
