River Of Brightness Lyrics - Aztec Camera

At the end of it all 

'Neath the moon's watchful eye 

I wanna be judged next to you 

'Cos to the beat of my heart 

You set a small revolution 

No one ever touched me so surely 

It's a veil drawn aside 

And revealed is the real world 

And it feels like my world 

From the ring on your finger 

So cold on my skin 

To the diamond-light stars long ago 

The River of Brightness flows 

On the end of the pier 

Saw the sun slidin' down 

On the dyin' embers of an empire 

See their faces appear 

Everyone who was ever sold out and laid low 

Their voices submerged 

In the sound of a choir 

We've got time on our side 

And revealed is the real world 

And it feels like my world 

From the crystal cold winter 

So petrified and numb 

That the blazing-bright sun overthrows 

The River of Brightness flows 

See it starts with a glint 

Of a sparkle in the eyes 

And a breath becomes a word becomes a deed 

And if the deed is done right 

The whole world's set alight 

But if you hesitate it goes 

And you're damnin' up the river 

Just to figure how it flows 

If that's the price of knowin' 

Maybe I don't wanna know 

'Cos it feels like the real world 

And it feels like our world 

From the ring on your finger 

So cold on my skin 

To the diamond-light stars long ago 

The River of Brightness flows
