I, I am nothing but ashes.
Ashes from the wreckage
Of the great war that played here
I am no longer here,
I feel like another world away
Running in circles in the dark

Aimlessly floating in the night
When I should be soaring
Breathing a sad song
When I should be singing my heart out
What can I sing of that heart,
When I can't even find it

Or know where it belongs to
Where it will be in the future
And what of that future
If severed by circumstances
Of a rope around the neck
And a dark desire

Lie down on the little raft waiting for me on the side of the river of time
And hopfully it will deliver me
To the land of peace
The land of joy
The land of salvation
Salvation from this eternal emptiness, from this emotional death, from this mental extermination, from this physical challenge, from this spiritual coma

Float down that river,
Beyond the stars,
Beyond the warmth of the night whispers
Beyond the fog that lay ahead
And deliver me to the land of peace

I, I am sorrowful,
Watching you suffer every day
You are stuck in your own little world
You're not aware of what you are, who you love, or who may love you.
All that matters is that you make it in life.

I don't know where you will go, but I hope that you lie
In that raft waiting for you
On the side of the river of time.
And there, that river will deliver you to the land of peace.

Deliver me,
Deliver you,
Deliver us,
Please oh river
Deliver us to the land where we can dance in the rain
Deliver us to the land of safety.
Deliver us to the land of life.

Step aside from the raft and just float in the cold water,
Hold your breath.
For 5, 10, 15 minutes.
And let that river deliver you
To a wonderful place
To the land of love
Somewhere out there, beyond the shining moon, beyond the howls of the lonely wolf, the echo of the ocean waves, beyond the cries of pain in this world.

Just let go, drift off,
Like fading water color,
Wash away,
Fade away,
You and I together, I promise,
The river will gently deliver us
To the land of peace.
