英文摇滚歌曲：Nightwish - Ghost River

It's a long road down the river deep and wild
Every twist and turn a wonder-dale
It's a scary ride we'd give anything to take
Let yourself Bleed
Leave a footprint on every island you see

Hey you, child of rape¹, the riverbed awaits
Snow white, pitch-black, your life such strife²
Heavenward, deep down, I'll show you such sights
Believe it, we live as we dream! (scream!)

He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
If you want me, do come across

What is it you dream of, child of mine?
The magic ride, the mermaid³ cove⁴,
Never met a kinder heart than yours
Let it bleed,
Leave a footprint on every island you see

I am the painted faces, the toxic⁵ kiss
Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge
Come across, death by a thousand cuts
Believe it, we live as we dream! (scream!)

He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
If you want me, Do Come Across...

I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglass
I am the fear and abuse, the leper children
Every eye sewn shut

We'll go down, we'll drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will be our last ride
We'll go down, we'll drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
Beautifully shy as you are
Never lose your heart
And do come across

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down, he will drown drown, deeper down
If you want me, Do Come Across!
