Misanthrope River

[Intro: Anders Jacobsson]

Here: Perhaps, 'tis the sole current that forever flows

Leaving the gilded, youthful shore behind

By venomous grief to drench the ever-belligerent stream

All too real, too vast, this the shattered, incompetent dream

[Verse 1: Lisa Johansson]

When nothing is what it seems

And the world has been pulled over your eyes

When false light beings flock in the dissonance

We're moving upstream down the misanthrope river

[Refrain: Anders Jacobsson]

Where shall I go if one of us dies?

Where shall I go if one of us dies?

[Bridge: Anders Jacobsson]

Beware, my psychic inheritance

No withdrawal, please

Remedy me

From where nothing is what it seems

I've never asked for this!

[Verse 2: Lisa Johansson]

What truth has gone beneath the tide

When every measure's been taken to steal the rushing light?

Where shall I go if one of us dies?

I'm moving upstream down the misanthrope river

[Refrain: Anders Jacobsson]

Cleansing our souls down the misanthrope river

[Chorus: Lisa Johansson, Anders Jacobsson]

And cold is the shiver with a brushing stroke of winter

Cold, cold is the shiver

I'm moving upstream down the misanthrope river

River

[Bridge: Anders Jacobsson]

For you, my heart's last drum

No withdrawal, please

Remedy me

For what am I not allowed to see?

I've never asked for this!

[Instrumental Outro]
