The spring time brings a scent so sweet
A scent of life in times of need
The river flows and I will drown myself
The river flows and I will drown
From petals falling to the ground
From petals falling to the ground
The smoke rises, ash descends
We stoke the fire with trembling hands
The river flows and I will drown myself
The river flows and I will drown
In ashes falling to the ground
In ashes falling to the ground
And summer's passing
And we're waiting
Knowing death is drawing near
And in our valley
Of our torrent
There is nothing left but fear
And mist is rising from the field
A hazy breath that cuts like steel
The river flows and I will drown myself
The river flows and I will drown
In leafs and rain on stony ground
And leafs are falling to the ground
We wander through the break of dawn
Remaining in silence despite all scorn
The river flows and we will drown ourselves
The river flows and we will drown
In snow that's falling to the ground
In snow that's falling to the ground
And snow is falling to the ground
Tossed and torn without a sound
