Aztec Camera - River Of Brightness Lyrics
Words and music by roddy frameAt the end of it all,neath the moons watchful eye,I wanna be judged next to youcos to the beat of my heart,You set a small revolution,No one ever touched me so surelyIts a veil drawn asideAnd revealed is the real world,And it feels like my worldFrom the ring on your fingerSo cold on my skin,To the diamond-light stars long agoThe river of brightness flowsOn the end of the pier,Saw the sun slidin down,On the dyin embers of an empireSee their faces appear,Everyone who was ever sold out and laid low,Their voices submergedIn the sound of a choirWeve got time on our side...And revealed is the real world,And it feels like my worldFrom the crystal cold winter,So petrified and numbThat the blazing-bright sun overthrows,The river of brightness flowsSee, it starts with a glintOf a sparkle in the eyes,And a breath becomes a word becomes a deedAnd if the deed is done right,The whole worlds set alight,But if you hesitate it goes,And youre damnin up the riverJust to figure how it flows,If thats the price of knowin,Maybe I dont wanna knowcos it feels like the real world,And it feels like our worldFrom the ring on your finger,So cold on my skinTo the diamond-light stars long ago,The river of brightness flows.
