Lyrics

There's a black river flowing, a poisoned stream
Out of nowhere it comes and nowhere it leads
There's no today and no tomorrow
That river is fed by the dark thoughts of those
That have a black heart inside
And I feel how I get close to them myself
In all my sorrow
And the river starts dragging me headlong
Silently I watched and waited each and every night
You should have anticipated that something was not right
Would you hold the line in days like these, my friend?
Would you hold the line or would you cut it off at your end?
Would you cut it off?
Something crawls out of the river
Something crawls all over my skin
Something is trying to get hold of my heart
I'm losing my sense of direction
And I can't remember anything
But the world fading to grey, fading to grey
As the river is dragging me headlong
Silently I watched and waited each and every night
You should have anticipated that something was not right
Would you hold the line in days like these, my friend?
Would you hold the line or would you cut it off at your end?
At your end
At your end
In a short clear moment
I foresaw my resistance
So I stretch out my hands to reach out for the river's bank
I'm not that ready to go under
I'm not that giving up
There still is a chance to find someone that's worth
Taking any risk and taking on any fight
That makes me put all of these sorrows aside
Though sometimes it takes just a bite
To save a life
So if you get to that river one day
You better take my advice
Don't forget what I say
It's not too late to turn around
So don't let it drag you in
Would you hold the line in days like these, my friend?
Would you hold the line or would you cut it off at your end?
Would you hold, now would you hold the line?
Would you hold, now would you hold the line?
Would you hold the line?
Hold the line
Hold the line
