river of no return

Singer:bruce dickinson

break the bread and drink the wine

seize the chalice

suck the poison vine

there is frost in every sunbeam

water flows from the earth to sky

looking down on every rose

nothing moves

the wheel of heaven turns

as our fingers leave their trace

we are gods in a world we dared embrace

now we're lost

you can't disguise

the river of no return

now it's time you realize

the river of no return

glowing embers of our ancient lives

we struggle hard

we live to turn the tide

living longer in the astral waste

we stare each other

we look death in the face

all my life

in front of you

lonely secrets hidden from your view

now we orbit a different sun

for eternity

doomed to tell no one

now we're lost

you can't disguise

the river of no return

now it's time you realize

the river of no return

now i'm truly all alone

canyon walls and the river of no return

i'm amazed at what i am

i never knew the feelings i ignored

now we're lost

you can't disguise

the river of no return

now it's time we realize

the river of no return

and the anguish drives me on

i wish i could return

all the love that washed away

down the river of no return
