Nevermore - "The River Dragon Has Come" (audio)

Today the warning came in the flood
Architects and fools
Never cared for poor men's blood
Cursed to repeat the past they are
The river dragon swims upstream
They've built another wall

The three will fall
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown

The river dragon has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken
And taken them to their graves

Those who cannot remember the last
Fall away, far away
The distance meets its task

The three will fall
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown

The river dragon has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken
And taken them to their graves
The river dragon has come
At first light of dawn
The earth has spoken
And in the crush they are gone

The three will fall
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown

The river dragon has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken
And taken them to their graves
In the mass destruction
The bringer shows his form
Technology the beast
The seventh crown
