Sky turned crimson, wild desire Witches scream your name On their bloody carousel Soon to play their game And your fire will be turned to ice All your horses returned to mice By a killer lagoon On the night of the wayward moon
Never try to cross that burning river It won't get you satisfied Never try to cross that burning river There's nothing on the other side No one to show you and no one to hear No one to see when you cry Never try to cross that burning river Swimming up against the tide
Walking on that scarlet trail Haunted angels tread Shrouded by a veil of tears Many prayers were said But the magic will disappear If you visit this dark frontier And be almost consumed On the night of the wayward moon
Never try to cross that burning river It won't get you satisfied Never try to cross that burning river There's nothing on the other side No one to show you and no one to hear No one to see when you cry Never try to cross that burning river Swimming up against the tide
And did you know they call you the window man Looking on as the world goes by But if you knew the thoughts of a clever man You would ride on the wings of a blue sky
Never try to cross that burning river It won't get you satisfied Never try to cross that burning river There's nothing on the other side No one to show you and no one to hear No one to see when you cry Never try to cross that burning river Swimming up against the tide
No one to show you and no one to hear No one to see when you cry Never try to cross that burning river Swimming up against the tide
