Rivers of Gold Lyrics


I remember a time when the taverns were full

And the flagons were filled to the brim

The future was bright in the stories we told

And the mead like rivers of gold

Oh, and the mead, like rivers of gold

I remember a time when the birds used to sing

And the moon shone as bright as the sun

Every drink within reach and as fresh as the spring

We knew we would never grow old

Oh, and the mead like rivers of gold

Raise your horn

One more round and I'm ready to go

The first sip – by the gods, so divine!

The second – so fine

The third leaves me craving for more

Moving mountains

With a force that rivals the gods – hear me

I will find you, and I shall be reborn again

I will drink the oceans dry in search for you

Moving mountains – I shall be reborn

We were strong, we were fast

We were luscious and free

And we carried our fates in our hands

Never once was my bed filled with less than three

As we bathed in rivers of gold

Oh, in the mead, like rivers of gold

We were dancing and drinking

All day and each night

In a feast that would dazzle the gods

Every wrong that I made

Turned into a fight

As I swam in rivers of gold

Oh, in the mead, like rivers of gold

Raise your horn

One more round and I'm ready to go

The first sip – by the gods, so divine!

The second – so fine

The third leaves me craving for more

Once I was moved by your presence so bright

The blessing was truly divine

As I dove into rivers of pure golden bliss

So tonight, I know I'll quench my thirst

And I'll venture into the unknown

Moving mountains

With a force that rivals the gods – hear me

I will find you, and I shall be reborn – again

I will drink the oceans dry in search for you

Moving mountains – I shall be reborn

I remember a time when the taverns were full

And the flagons were filled to the brim

And the mead like rivers of gold

Oh, and the mead like rivers of gold
