Breaking Shadows - By the river Lyrics

Alone by the river
In a cabin
Old and grey
With a 4 legged friend by his side
Strolling through the stillness
Night and day

Day by day
Embracing solitude
Elderly warrior's weathered lines
Time can't efface
Life's a dance
With the unknown
By the river's current
Truths shows it's face

Wars echoes
In his gaze
Untold tales
River's steady path
Four-legged companion
Faithful and astute
Growing old together
In this domain

Quiet night
World askew
Hound at his side
Blue open skies
Aged warrior's reveries
Diminishing slowly
By the river
Truths flows

Day by day
Embracing solitude
Elderly warrior's weathered lines
Time can't efface
Life's a dance
With the unfamiliar
By the river's current
Truths show it's face

Recollections of conflicts
Carved in each scar.
The burden of history
In the silence, near and distant.
Marching through shades
Of a well-experienced life
By the river's flow
His spirit finds solace

Day by day
Embracing solitude
Elderly warrior's weathered lines
Time can't efface
Life's a dance with the unknown

Seasons arrive and depart
His age reaching its end
In the dance of nature
His 4 legged companion
Is already passed on
To his new hunting grounds

A loyal companion, now just a memory
As he confront the unknown alone
By the river's quiet blue he seeks peace
And solace when his time is due
Then Again he will be by the river bank
Together with his companion forever more

A life is over, forever lost
A history never written
Not alone long
By the river's quiet blue he seeks peace
And solace when his time is due
Then Again he will be by the river bank
Together with his companion forever more

A life is over, forever lost
A history never written
A story with a cost
Now he is dancing by new
River beds, all scars are faded
And life's hardships shaded

In heaven he is, by the river again
With his 4 legged friend

In heaven he is, by the river they are again
2 old friends under the open blue sky
