Once my life was plain and clear

I recall once my ignorance was bliss

Nightfall came like a serpent's kiss

To my troubled mind



Why, oh why, my god

Have you abandoned me

In my sobriety

Behind the old facade

I'm your bewildered child

So take me across the river wide



Binding promises were made on my soul

Grand illusions led astray

Ice cold winds swept my heart away

Bring me back to you



Why, oh why, my god above

Have you abandoned me

In my sobriety

Behind the old facade

I'm your bewildered child

So take me across the river wide
