Eridanos' Blues

Cannot say when this old story took place…
Sudden blast of light falling from above
Another drop of life crashes in the stream
Muddy waters slowly swirling away
Breath after breath we're all rowing down to the sea
I'm a river and I flow
Endless river through the ages I go
A drop for a drop I give back what you leave behind
Can you tell me something that I don't know?
Leaves flickering like withheld tears
Last rays of sunshine crystallized in amber
Nothing's new under the sun but memories remain
As the dark takes again his place in the night
I'm a river and I flow
Endless river through the ages I go
A drop for a drop I give back what you leave behind
Can you tell me something that I don't know?
Stolen my daddy's costly car
For bragging on parade in the boulevard
All you losers watch me now
Admire and kiss my dazzling crown
I'll show you all who I am…
Fast as a bullet, I'm a flaming star
The power of a god runs in my blood
I want more speed! Eat my dust!
I'm gonna push, smashing the limit!
And everything is blown away…
Something's wrong, lost control
The world's on fire, turns to ash
Overheat! Scorching blaze!
This fucking jalopy has broken down
A star is falling in the river…
Bright pyre on my way to hell
I dash from the sky in a blast
I quench my hype as a fish
And in the end I sink in the dark
A star has fallen in the river…
