Burning Across The River Lyrics

Burning Across the River

standing by the river at night

the flames of battle are raging

I’m watching from the opposite side

to see combatants engaging

come day I’ll swim

across to win

I’ll swoop right in again

I’ll bide my time

and keep in mind

this world will rhyme again

sitting on the top of a hill

below the tigers are fighting

I see them going in for the kill

they’re burning brighter than lightning

the time’s at hand

I will descend

to take command again

I’ll bide my time

and keep in mind

this world will rhyme again

somewhere in these starlit forests of night

I’ll be counting shadows ’till wrong is right

I will not surrender to death’s dateless night

I can still remember the glorious light

come rain or shine

it will be fine

standing by the river

standing by the river of time
