The man by the river

In the depths of the forest a man stood by the river His eyes as deep as the water, his soul a sliver He whispered to the fish as they danced in the light Tales of ancient secrets mysteries of the night He spoke of distant lands of mountains high and wide Of creatures lurking in the shadows of heroes who defied The darkness that consumes us the fears that hold us tight The man by the river a beacon in the night His words were like music a symphony so sweet In harmony with nature a melody complete The fish swam closer entranced by his song Their scales shimmering a dance that belonged To the man who talked to the river the fish who flew high In dreams of wonder, where reality does lie He is the one we long for the one we aspire To be like the man who talked to the river who set our hearts on fire So let us follow his footsteps let us learn his ways To speak to the river to hear what it says In the symphony of nature in the beauty of the night We'll find our own purpose our own guiding light For the man who talked to the river, the fish that flew high Is a dream we all share a vision in the sky In the world of symphonic metal where the music never dies We'll be like the man who talked to the river with fire in our eyes Fire in our eyes Fire in our eyes Fire in our eyes Fire in our eyes
