"The Rapids" lyrics

"The Rapids"

Kosken pauhu korvissani soi

Merciless the break of dawn
Desperate this encounter
Teeth are out, backs are raised
Wolves await in the tree line

Darkest mysteries revealed
Truth is plain for us to see
Bullet in her burning flesh
Kept her from turning to beast

By the side of the rapids
Here on the verge of the fall
I, I make peace with my maker
On this icy brink
I make peace with my God

Everything she ever did
Every cut and every bite
Every bit of blood spilled
Everything was for her child

Righteous men who read the law
Pious men who use the rod
They will never set her free
The stake and the fire await

By the side of the rapids
Here on the verge of the fall
I, I make peace with my maker
On this icy brink
I make peace with my God

The roar of the rapids calling my name
The roar of the rapids awaits
The end of the path here
The end of the trek
I redeem this soul of mine

May Lord in his mercy forgive my deeds
May Lord in his mercy absolve
The roar engulfs us
Death's embrace
I redeem this soul of mine

We fall
We lunge
Still fall
To abyss

We fall
We lunge
Still fall
To abyss
