Knight Area - The River lyrics

Out in the heights of snow-capped mountains In barren wastes is where it springs to life Its melting crystal raindrops fill a clear pond Quenching birds and beasts that are enticed Perfect beauty A peaceful silence Where streams gently meander downhill Slowly growing A majestic river For centuries pa**ing by as if time stood still Flowing on Towards the sun A mighty river flowing from the highlands Where nature rules a lost kingdom of peace From the distant west into the world of mankind Into the crowded cities in the east It's clear waters Turning darker The factories pollute its shallow bed Their children's future Longtime forgotten We wash our hands in innocence they said Wanting more They fight their war
