Lyrics Inviting Rivers - Runescarred

Inviting Rivers

I am he who speaks to cowards
I whisper in their ears
Asking what it is they desire
And gifting only fear
Tablets know me, my words are etched
Unyielding and forever carved
Fathers hear me, their children fear me
I have painted their scars
Prostrate at this bank of tears
Quenching this thirst with everything you’ve feared
Ruby streams and rusted dreams
Are everything that came to me
A vision being of a world I’ll have you know
I am the floodgate, cast my mandate to
Deflagrate the thankless ingrates
Invite your rivers to flow
We are me, this is how you know me
My words pour from your face
A distant mind, a nearer echo
A spirit without a trace
This is mine;
a darker man
You are an ocean of ghosts
You are we, we guide your voice
A perfect and malleable host
Prostrate at this bank of tears
Quenching this thirst with everything you’ve feared
Ruby streams and rusted dreams
Are everything that came to me
A vision being of a world I’ll have you know
I am the floodgate, cast my mandate to
Deflagrate the thankless ingrates
Open your arms and invite the rivers to flow
