RIVERSIDE LYRICS

1. Goodbye Sweet Innocence

[Music by Riverside, Lyrics by Mariusz Duda]

I'm covered in dust
Lying next to you
Waiting for my judgement day
Feel the warmth of the hearth
Your kiss of destiny
Cure for pain and misery

When something ends
Something else begins
We are moving on

Life happened to us
We are not the same
But we've managed to survive
Stuck at the crossroads of time
Between future and past
Diverse worlds under the same sky

And when something ends
Something else begins
So let me silently fade away
Forget us in the flame

I know it hurts
The sky has fallen down
I know it hurts
Flowers have died back
I know it hurts
But look at the sun
It's about to rise again

Cause when something ends
Something else begins
So let me silently fade away
Forget us in the flame

2. Living In The Past

[Music by Riverside, Lyrics by Mariusz Duda]

I need a place where I can belong
This alternate world is not my home
I suffocate here

The hollow laughs of the hollow men
Embarrassing Carnival Parade
Can't stand more lights!

I don't care if those times are over
I'm not going to live like everyone
I don't care if those times are over
My future is living in the past

I feel like the touchstone
In a river of wounded hearts
What happened to our days
They used to be so full of life
In a different way

Used to be so easy
Used to be so good between us
Words had a different meaning
The simple things were significant

I don't care if those times are over
I'm not going to live like everyone
I don't care if those times are over
My future is living in the past

Even clowns don't scare me anymore

3. Forgotten Land

[Music by Riverside, Lyrics by Mariusz Duda]

Look at this field my son
Deserted, empty place
Where the dead silence feeds on lost whispers
There was a Kingdom here
A City full of life
Songs of its praise were being sung by the mountains
Oh, listen to them now

People felt strong and powerful
Proud of their wealth
All of them believed they were kings of the whole world
They started to take more
And crossed the borderlines
Called themselves gods above everything and everyone
Oh, listen to them now

Faster and faster
Higher and higher
Great temples of gold grew taller and glittered in the sun
Gods, too sure of themselves
Never lost their pride
Even when the altars and monuments started to collapse

Oh, how quickly they died
Oh, how quickly they turned into
The dust of the forgotten land

Listen intently
Souls are crying
This is the song of the forgotten land
