Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Illumed for promise
Due as bound
Commonly in circles, I ache as ignite
Time's by essence
Heat by flint
Would I yearn for tenderness?
A light within
[PreChorus]
Here I fought for you
A pall as cast and through
Though danger, said I'd be reborn
We live and ride alone
[Chorus]
As the river rolls
As the river rolls
Lord, have mercy on my soul
[Verse 2]
A screen but captures you
In thrall, yet ghosts remove
With languor, said I'd be reborn
We live and ride alone
[Chorus]
As the river rolls
As the river rolls
As the river rolls
As the river rolls
Lord, help me from my soul
As the river rolls
As the river rolls
Lord, help me save my soul
[Outro]
You dare not follow
You dare not follow
You dare not follow
As the river rolls
As the river rolls
