Note: I wrote this for fk. I call this one "When the river runs dry". Can be a little confusing, but if you think and concentrate hard enough, it's quite logical and simple.

Tell me what happens when the river runs dry
If I am too blind to see
That the birds have stopped singing
And the prisoners have all run free.

When the prisoners have all run free
And that a wizard has lost his magic.
That a bard has forgotten how to sing
And a priest afraid to pray.

Show me what happens when the river runs dry
If I am too blind to see
That the grass is no longer green
And the water is no longer sparkling clearly.

When the water is no longer clear
And that blood is no longer crimson.
That the sun is no longer flaming red
And life is no longer colourful.

This was what happened when the river ran dry
And I was too blind to see
That the one I loved felt the same
And it was true that he loved me.

When it was true that he loved me
And that I did not know
Until he fell at the hands of time
And had no choice but to go.

The river ran dry a long time ago,
And never again will it flow.
