By the river

[Verse 1] Bread and wine, a bitter taste, No words, no glance, no last goodbye. [Pre-chorus] A boy too small to understand, your shadow sinking into the tide. [Chorus, raw, full band surge] Your name struck like thunder The river roars, but doesn’t answer, It only takes Did you hear me cry? Did you hear me cry? [Verse 2] The few coins you gave, still burn in my hand. Too small to pay, the void you left [Chorus, raw, full band surge] Your name struck like thunder The river roars, but doesn’t answer It only takes Did you hear me cry? Did you hear me cry? [Bridge, emotional] I carry the weight you couldn’t bear [Chorus, soaring vocals, layered guitars] Your name struck like thunder The river roars, but doesn’t answer It only takes Did you hear me cry? Did you hear me cry? [Outro, reflective] Did you hear me cry? Did you hear me cry?
