River of January Lyrics by Doomshine

The Piper at the Gates of Doom

2010

Standing on a hunchback feigning control
Battle angels fall, may God rest their souls
Smiling at the flock of sheep dressed in black
Don't you know I'll surely rise from the dead?
Don't waste illuminations
I wonder of the dark, I shine alone
In cold electric light, my halo of stone
A weathered sanctuary, far from home
Almighty paralysed, a place in the sun
Tired of the flashlights time and again
I'm on edge to hang on for my ascension
Cannot move my arms, can't answer the prayers
I was carved out of stone, so it’s like "devil-may-care"
Don't wait for visitation
I wondеr of the dark, I shine alone
In cold еlectric light, my halo of stone
A weathered sanctuary, far from home
Almighty paralysed, a place in the sun
I'm the son
Don't care where heaven lies
Just take me to the sky
I wonder how the dark eyes shone before
Worn out in hazy light, a king ran ashore
I dream of January, long ago
A traveller's paradise, eclipse of the son
The son
Forgotten river soul, have patience with the plague
Their ashes fade, come back home
