The Echo and the River

[Verse 1]
He watches the morning light
Catch on her raven hair
Curves of her lips
Promising a life that they will share

[Verse 2]
Two lovers intertwined
In the light of a winter's dawn
As the rumble of war sweeps down through the valley

[Chorus]
So stay with me, oh lover
My heart's filled with worry
Stay with me, oh lover
The borders are burning
And the war is yearning
To take you away from me

[Verse 3]
Bury you deep in the clay down below
So she waits by a river
For the ghost of her lover
His legacy she carries
Soon to bе a mother
But the echoеs of the fallen
Still carry on in the morning

[Verse 4]
Searching for the way home
To their own true love's kiss
So come to me, oh lover
Your unborn is yearning

[Verse 5]
Come to me, oh lover
My heart is still burning
And my soul is yearning
To feel the river swirling

[Outro]
To join you once more
In the next world, eternal
To join you once more
In the next world, eternal
