Aviators - Red Water Dreams Lyrics






Take me to the water
Where the river meets the sea
Let the memory of rising tide
Come washing over me
I saw fire consume the trusting
With the victims still naive
And so they bleed
And so they bleed
Take me to the tower
Where false gods reside in peace
Let them wither from the inside
Watch their adoration cease
Now with no more heroes left
To cull the chaff among the streets
The gates release
The gates release

Sing in grief, a requiem
The curse of our millennium
These souls keep whispering from the river beds
An end to all these violent means
Alive in these red water dreams
Their haunted burdens stirring in my head
On streets still running red

Vicious thoughts are stirring
And I hunger for their power
Just to taste the opportunity
To watch the elders cower
When the waters fall below the ruins
They'll see their final hour
But rain still showers
The rain still showers
Take me as the vessel
To infect the whole charade
I've come much too far to accept
This society they've made
In the corner of the wasteland
Under storms of acid rain
The last remain
The last remain

Most went in the flood
A few were martyred by the flames
Yet those who unleashed the waters
Are still guilty all the same
When the ignorance of puppets
Serves the master's larger game
They let it rain
They let it rain
When I gain the chance to rise
I'll find the light in their cold eyes
Or lose myself and carry out revenge
The righteous hunt has just begun
The dimming of the bleeding sun
Will let these waters run clear once again

  1. N.... J....

    I am sorry.
    https://youtu.be/gc76Ogsyt2U

    I just had to!
    People are talking about writing a fanfic to this and I have this SPACE in my head from your music!
    It had to go somewhere!

  2. R.... D....

    ~ With all the pieces in play and the balance tipped, she watches as the heroes of the people are taken out by her father's enforcers. The Elders voices were silenced with a gunshot. The people that had placed their hope in their "god" to save them from the sun's radiation. That hope was gone.. She knew this would cause the people to abandon hope. She knew that once they'd abandoned hope, they would rage. They would riot. They would cast their flesh against the machine with wild abandon.
    And she knew the outcome that always happens when people without weapons face up against people with weapons.
    Absolute Slaughter.
    But this was all part of the plan. Miami, the city where the last of humanity resides. The city where her father built his empire. The city turned machine, with it's sole purpose being eldritch consumption of human souls by the ziggurat in keeping with the Entity's pact. Every day for a century The Watcher regretted not killing her father when they killed the last gods. But with the loss of hope from the people, she had now gained some of her own. In the Castle by the sea, she patiently waited for her heroes to arrive. Her designs hidden from her father for more than a century.
    With the blood of insurgents and innocents alike running through the streets, dripping off bridges and walkways creating a machob spray of rain on the river below, her heroes now had a chance. A chance to reach her father. A chance to put an end to his tyranny. And a chance to finally regain her own mortality. A chance to finally rest her soul in peace.
    The human spirit would be tested against the might of a power that spanned dimensions.
    Now was the final flight of the God Hunters. ~

    What it's like in my head

    Take me to the water
    Where the river meets the sea
    Let the memory of rising tide
    Come washing over me
    I saw fire consume the trusting
    With the victims still naive
    And so they bleed
    And so they bleed
    Take me to the tower
    Where false gods reside in peace
    Let them wither from the inside
    Watch their adoration cease
    Now with no more heroes left
    To cull the chaff among the streets
    The gates release
    The gates release

    Sing in grief, a requiem
    The curse of our millennium
    These souls keep whispering from the river beds
    The end to all these violent means
    Alive in these red water dreams
    Their haunted burdens stirring in my head
    On streets still running red

    Vicious thoughts are stirring
    And I hunger for their power
    Just to taste the opportunity
    To watch the elders cower
    When the waters fall below the ruins
    They'll see their final hour
    But rain still showers
    The rain still showers
    Take me as the vessel
    To infect the whole charade
    I've come much too far to accept
    This society they've made
    In the corner of the wasteland
    Under storms of acid rain
    The last remain
    The last remain

    Sing in grief, a requiem
    The curse of our millennium
    These souls keep whispering from the river beds
    The end to all these violent means

    On streets still running red

  4. M.... L....

    Is it just me or does this remind of the Icelandic band Of Monsters And Men?

  5. G.... ....

    What is the song teased at the end?

    G.... ....

    Its called 'The Longest Road' , from the 'Godhunter' album.

    The original demo (which you can find on the Aviators Archive channel) was made as far back as 2015 and was to be released on Avi's 'From Oceans To Skies' album but it wasn't till 2019 that he finished the track :p

  6. W.... ....

    I haven't played Godhunter, but this could just as well be a song about the current state of society.

  7. D.... V....

    It is music like this that makes life worth living. <3

  8. K.... M....

    Sound like lyrics of a crybaby whose religion hurled him out due to his piss poor behavior.

  9. B.... M....

    Would you/do you ever share the music so people who want to do covers can learn? It would be awesome to learn songs I actually like haha

  10. N.... H....

    Anyone else get the vibe this would be a song to play racing down a dark straight highway at night?

  11. M.... I....

    This one’s a bop

  12. A.... S....

    Is this album based off of a game?

    A.... S....

    No, it's his original universe

  13. S.... G....

    it really creeped me out when i looked up at the end and the screen was blood red. love the song tho

  14. R.... ....

    Wait... so this isn't a song about Magnus the Red/The Burning of Prospero? The words and the visuals had me sure...

  15. I.... ....

    that fade to red tho

  16. J.... P....

    Bloodborne vibes in here ❤️❤️❤️

  17. S.... T....

    take me to the water where the wivver meets the sea

    S.... T....

    Let the memory of rising tide come washing over me

    S.... T....

    @Ren Kalan I saw fire consume the trusting with the victims still nieve

  18. D.... L....

    The songs from this album are basically the theme songs for the D&D campaign Im making.

    D.... L....

    Trust me, I can feel it too. I'm already getting ideas on how to incorporate this into a campaign I have in mind.

  19. d.... ....

    This kinda feels like the tranquillity after the storm. Does anyone know Neal Asher?

  20. T.... C....

    Cansandri of deaknan dearest narkcy

  21. T.... C....

    Chambliumli of hour vevgnie

  22. M.... H....

    Song was amazing until 2:11


    What a waste

    M.... H....

    Personally I thought that transition was done beautifully. Each to their own though I guess.

  23. R.... F....

    Are there instrumental versions available?

    R.... F....

    Yes, on his bandcamp

  24. k.... ....

    RED WATER, i almost watched the water turn red with mine, but i stopped thinking of doing it after i listened to this song. And i don't know why i stopped? But i am glad i found this song it helps a lot with my depression.

  25. T.... ....

    Now THIS is good material for a DnD campaign

  26. A.... B....

    Yo, anyone know what font the lyrics are in?

    A.... B....

    Alex B ...

  27. A.... B....

    I think there should be sheet music of this in tabs. I would love to play this on guitar! This song has an awesome rhythm and a good beat. I would love to play this with it's beat.

  28. H.... M....

    ı love it!!!

  29. S.... O....

    Me: I'll just keep playing the song until I get over it......5 year's later. Me: Ok I'll give more time. 60 year's later. Me: DA**IT!!!!!

  30. D.... L....

    Reminds me land of confusion and we didn’t start the fire and the times they are a changing all at once

  31. A.... K....

    Is this someone's tabletop campaign, gone out of control?

  32. J.... S....

    I'm getting a very Dune vibe from these songs and the images in the back images.

  33. R.... ....

    This song is SO GOOD! One of the best you have made in my eyes

  34. L.... ....

    This sounds SO much like Poets of the Fall

  35. L.... C....

    Avi... There's something remarkable about your viewers. You may not have a lot of them however I have seen MORE THAN HALF of Your videos and I haven't seen ONE negative comment. They're all "WOW you have the voice of a GOD" or "THIS SONG IS THE BEST AND YOU ARE THE BEST SONGWRITER" so good job. Pretty sure if the world knew about you they would all love your songs and you would rise above Michael J

  36. S.... ....

    What a song. My favourite from the album

  37. M.... G....

    I love bard songs especially when they deposit a righteous soul defying false idols

  38. W.... ....

    This song reminds me of a quote about Dark Souls I saw once:
    "The world is against me. It wouldn't be fair otherwise."
    God, I love this song.


    Edit: Added reference for quote.

    W.... ....

    @Burakku Ren Pretty sure I saw it for DS3, but I think it could be for any of the Soulsborne games; it applies to all of them.

    W.... ....

    @Burakku Ren it's not FROM dark souls, it's ABOUT dark souls

    W.... ....

    Seems like a description of the mentality of the playerbase.
    1 hour into Dark Souls: "The world is against me - it's unfair!"
    500 hours into Dark Souls: "The world is against me. It wouldn't be fair otherwise."
    2000 hours into Dark Souls "The world is against me... it's terribly outmatched."

    W.... ....

    @Wyzai The world is against me and I'm at SL1 with an unupgraded weapon while blindfolded and my hands are tied behind my back while drunk and high. It has no chance of winning.

    W.... ....

    Wowmantrav you know he made a dark souls 3 and bloodborn song right? Such good songs m, if you haven’t listened to them you have to

  39. N.... ....

    thank you YT for recommending this masterpiece!

  40. M.... C....

    I first listened to this album a couple of weeks after it came out, and it's just occurred to me that it's May and I'm still listening to it daily. There isn't a track on it that I don't like.

  41. m.... b....

    I found this trying to inteperet a reoccuring dream i had as child where they were sharks swimming in red water and i had to make my way across

    m.... b....

    Cannot see your name ?

  42. A.... S....

    Warhammer 40k. Gothic arches and future tech space transport.

  43. �.... �....

    Случайно зашёл на канал, затянуло, теперь не могу остановиться, большинство песен засело в голове.

    �.... �....

    Та же фигня, уже неделю слушаю :D

  44. a.... ....

    This song fits the series Altered Carbon perfectly.


    Water, blood, immortality, power, violence, guilt.

  45. ?.... ....

    OHHH MYYY GOSH!
    I LOVE IT!
    IAM GONNA LEARN IT!
    IAM GONNA SING IT TO MY FRIENDS!
    IAM GONNA SUBSCRIBE!
    IAM GONNA LIKE!
    IAM GOING TO LISTEN TO IT ON THE BUS!
    IAM GONNA PUT IT IN THE CLASS PLAYLIST!
    IAM GOING TO SHARE IT WITH MY MUM AND MY FATHER AND MY FRIENDS AND MY DOG!!!
    I LOVE YOU!

  46. E.... B....

    This is magic. It just is.

  47. s.... w....

    This song is so relaxing. So good. Thank you!

  48. D.... D....

    falling in love song by song, wanted to find something new, im blessed with this one *-*

  49. A.... V....

    This song sounds so much more upbeat at 1.5 speed

  50. b.... ....

    Do you guys perform in real life?
    Your songs are so amazing and so soul-touching! Thanks a lot for it.
    Btw do you have any tabs for this song?)

  51. e.... -....

    Man you are GOD <3

  52. C.... I....

    Got chills. First song I've ever heard from you guys and I'm majorly impressed. You earned a new fan. Dam.

  53. L.... H....

    I'm your biggest fan. Love your music and your gifted voice. Can you write and sing songs about the female holy spirit or the woman with the moon at her feet that is called the great sign in Heaven? She is also wearing a crown of twelve stars upon her head. There is also another great sign that's called a fiery red dragon that wants to devour her child as soon as it's born but the child is snatched up to God. I believe that would be awesome material for a great song that could be a hit for you. I hope you consider it. 🌟🌙☀️👰😇

  54. c.... ....

    The more I listen to this, the more I fall in love. What is the lore behind this song? Somebody please tell me!

    c.... ....

    It is actually a part of a long, 4 album spanning story about a young woman - the Hunter - leading a rebellion against godlike beings called the Ascended.

    c.... ....

    @Александр Кривенков Super. Would you happen to know which albums and which order I should listen to them in?

    c.... ....

    @csquared sure. The albums are Dystopian Fiction, Stargazers, Godhunter and Building Better Worlds. Also, someone has arranged the songs in a timeline on spotify, here is the link!
    https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1VpgMW2lSmUHsseASP0WkJ

  55. D.... P....

    so, amusing timing. first time i've watched this, and right as the song ends we have a roll of thunder. well, not amusing so much as epic. amazing work, as always. would love one day if your music was on the radio.

  56. A.... M....

    What song is it from 5:28, at the end?

  57. d.... s....

    yes he is i can totally see this song in Warhammer 40,000 used for either the Imperium of man or the chaos marines, also FOR THE EMPEROR MAY HIS LIGHT SHINE DOWN AND PROTECT US!!!

  58. M.... ....

    so...could you technically call it "red wet dreams"?

    M.... ....

    That's called a period.

  59. C.... N....

    Jesus, this has to be based off some story right? I can vividly imagine the world in this song. If its not already this needs to be a game

  60. D.... A....

    I'm making a tabletop RPG and this song perfectly describes it.

  61. Y.... P....

    They are BEST!

  62. K.... ....

    I discover your channel and i like very much your music. The instrumental speak to your spirit and the paroles are so roleplay. Need an univers with that ! ^^

  63. �.... �....

    Looks like the Prospero in Warhammer 40000.

  64. C.... ....

    Never fails to impress

  65. M.... M....

    Why do i feel like this is about the Burning of Prospero?

  66. W.... E....

    The story telling of this song is just beautiful it is very well done keep it up avi

  67. R.... ....

    Now I'm so glad I left my autoplay on, or I would not have found you or your music.

  68. J.... P....

    I'm going to base a dnd campaign off this at some point. Thanks! :)

  69. E.... ....

    I was just listening to this song on Spotify and couldn't help myself but go here on YouTube and comment how absolutely mesmerizing I find this music. Thanks for all your hard work you put into your music.
    (the fact that I have to write my master's thesis has nothing in common with this, I swear)

    E.... ....

    Howd the last minute thesis writing go?

    E.... ....

    hope you did good on that thesis, you make a pretty solid one right here in this comment!

  70. G.... R....

    I'll be replaying this five years from now. 7th consecutive replay and I can already tell.

  71. D.... ....

    This is really awesome. I had liked some of your other songs for the sound or for the stories they told, but this set really impresses me. Not only does it sound really haunting and powerful, but it's actually for a complicated and long-running _original_ story you've composed for these albums. That's just cool.

  72. J.... B....

    Guess you can ascend music godhood.

  73. F.... V....

    All I this makes me think of is Red Water by Rehab,thx for the reminder yo 👌

  74. r.... ....

    Amazing work

  75. S.... ....

    I love lyrics. One of most favorite song for sure. Since the forward message is most important in good song.

  76. L.... 9....

    I love thise song ❤️❤️ become my favorit 👍👍😁

  77. M.... ....

    The perfect song to listen to before sleeping

  78. C.... G....

    The middle part gives a "New Londo" vibe. I know it's not related, but the flooding theme works, so... yes, funny trivia. Great song.

  79. R.... ....

    this song in particular just oozes feeling.


    As per usual Aviators, your music is some of the best out there to listen to and reminds us of a time when it really meant something. Well fucking done. and there's 49 people out there who have no idea what good music is, probably listen to "gucci-gang" or some low-life scumbag that uses nothing but synthesizers and repeating 4-note systems. You don't like it? don't listen to it :D

  80. f.... m....

    What is the song about?

  81. J.... H....

    It can't just be me that finds between this, Godhunter and Paralysed that this music works perfectly for Vampire the Masquerade? I mean the songs' lyrics all match the mythology in the game so perfectly it's uncanny if it wasn't intended.

  82. J.... S....

    My favorite band with another amazing song.

  83. N.... E....

    One of the most inspirational songs I've run across in a good long while.

  84. f.... ....

    This is beautiful. Thank you.

  85. 0.... ....

    Could someone maybe compile a list of all the songs in The Hunter's story? I'd love to try to piece everything together. I assume Requiem for the Hunter is the end, but i'd love to know what else i should listen to.

    0.... ....

    He made a playlist for that.
    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuJ82PHklZE70UqCT4jm03RLhu9H3JNqA

  86. K.... S....

    Beggining sounds a litlle bit bad when I use my phone, but I tried using headphones and it sounds great :D

  87. R.... ....

    I cannot remember the last time I had such INTENSE chills listening to a song........ *slow clap* Bravo...

    R.... ....

    Bravo...are you italian?

  88. �.... �....

    Love!!!! ❤❤❤❤💕💕💖💓💝💗💝💞💟❤❤ Your songs so perfect and beautiful!

    Hey, Tyler, you would like Cryoshell songs. My favorite rock group. May be you will like them too.🙏

  89. D.... ....

    I swear, I heard a Fortnite clap at 2:37

  90. f.... ....

    Excellent song! I love the "Poets of the Fall" vibe.

  91. C.... P....

    This song reminded me heavily of Zelazny's novel Lord of Light. It's beautiful, haunting and powerful.

  92. K.... ....

    Can totally see this playing over the firefly intro.

  93. M.... ....

    Love the song, but am I the only one hearing static when the chorus gets going? At the vicious thoughts part.

  94. M.... O....

    I downloaded the Album 2 hours ago and I LOVE IT!!!

  95. S.... J....

    Makes me think of Bloodborne despite not being a Bloodborne song...

  96. M.... K....

    Okay so when is somebody starting to make theories on the stories that Aviators tries to tell with his songs.

  97. K.... M....

    Welp, here's another song to add to my playlist. I'm surprised no one has really noticed his talent, and it's sad. It'd be amazing to have these songs on the radio

  98. L.... L....

    Pls make more fnaf

  99. H.... C....

    Can't tell you how many times I've listened to this. Your music is amazing and it's great for getting the creativity flowing! Thanks for helping pave the backstory of my story's villain!!
