River Monster

Lyrics

[Verse] Down by the river where the shadows hide A creature lurks waiting in the night Children wander where they shouldn’t be Taken by the currents lost to the sea [Verse 2] Eyes gleam wicked under moon's cold light Silent as a whisper vanishing from sight Little ones call but they can’t be heard Drowned in the depths by a beast deferred [Chorus] Monster of the river hiding deep Stealing dreams while we sleep Hearts grow cold whispers turn to screams River monster haunts our darkest dreams [Bridge] Beneath the surface where the truth is banned Lives a terror that no child can withstand Once they've gone there’s no turning back Caught in the clutches of the dark attack [Verse 3] Mothers weep fathers search in vain Haunted by the river's chilling refrain But the monster waits hunger never dies Tracing every tear with its cruel eyes [Chorus] Monster of the river hiding deep Stealing dreams while we sleep Hearts grow cold whispers turn to screams River monster haunts our darkest dreams
