[Verse] A moonless sky swallows the tide Lanterns flicker where shadows collide Mountains whisper Secrets untold A crimson river runs deep and cold [Chorus] Oh crimson river Where do you flow Through valleys of sorrow Where winds won't go Carving the earth You carry the pain Oh crimson river Red like the rain [Verse 2] A phoenix cries from an ashen tree Its wings are bound yet it longs to be free Blades clash softly In the night's cold mist Destiny written in the blood that twists [Prechorus] Fate's threads unravel In silence they fall The river remembers It carries us all [Chorus] Oh crimson river Where do you flow Through valleys of sorrow Where winds won't go Carving the earth You carry the pain Oh crimson river Red like the rain [Bridge] The qin hums low The flute pierces high A melody born where the heroes lie A tear meets the water A story reborn From the crimson river New lives are sworn
