"Misanthrope River" lyrics - DRACONIAN

[Intro: Simon Bibby]
Here: Perhaps, 'tis the sole current that forever flows
Leaving the gilded, youthful shore behind
By venomous grief to drench the ever-belligerent stream
All too real, too vast, this the shattered, incompetent dream

[Verse 1: Lisa Johansson]
When nothing is what it seems
And the world has been pulled over your eyes
When false light beings flock in the dissonance
We're moving upstream down the misanthrope river

[Refrain: Anders Jacobsson]
Where shall I go if one of us dies?
Where shall I go if one of us dies?

[Bridge: Anders Jacobsson]
Beware, my psychic inheritance
No withdrawal, please
Remedy me
From where nothing is what it seems
I've never asked for this!

[Verse 2: Lisa Johansson]
What truth has gone beneath the tide
When every measure's been taken to steal the rushing light?
Where shall I go if one of us dies?
I'm moving upstream down the misanthrope river

[Refrain: Anders Jacobsson]
Cleansing our souls down the misanthrope river

[Chorus: Lisa Johansson, Anders Jacobsson]
And cold is the shiver with a brushing stroke of winter
Cold, cold is the shiver
I'm moving upstream down the misanthrope river
River

[Bridge: Anders Jacobsson]
For you, my heart's last drum
No withdrawal, please
Remedy me
For what am I not allowed to see?
I've never asked for this!

[Instrumental Outro]
