Behind the Rhine

I’m back from hell and back again
To make amends
Your pocket swallows up your hand
When mine extends
All is forgiven
Give me the will
Give me the way
This is the time
Leave it behind the Rhine
Don’t play it back inside your head
There’s no rewind
Guilt has an expiration date
A soft deadline
All is forgiven
Give me the will
Give me the way
Swallow the pill
Empty my head
Throw it away
This is the place
This is the time
Nothing to face
Leave it behind the Rhine
As I lay down my burden by
The riverside
I vow to never cross again
The great divide
The darkest part of me still lingers
It must survive
Without regret how will I know
That I’m alive?
Leave it behind the Rhine
Nothing to face
Leave it behind the Rhine
Let it all go
Leave it behind the Rhine
Behind the Rhine
