lyrics

04. four empty rivers

open a book to the first page
life is a play & we're all on the stage
study your parts, read all of your lines
four empty rivers, frozen in time

stare at the sun, hide from the moon
feel that your world is just a cartoon
the emperor's clothes win all of the cheers
four empty rivers, once held tears

take what you can, they'll take what you need
keep all your books cause the kings can't read
horns in jericho, fiddlers in rome
four empty rivers, leading you home

open a book to the last page
read 'tween the lines & feel the rage
conquest & war, famine & death
four empty rivers, nothing much left
