Band, The - Amazon (River Of Dreams) Lyrics
I went on the river for money, I sold my old rotten shack
For a rusty tanker leaking oil, and the burning sun was on my back
Traveled up the ragin' river, I watched the jungle burn
And in the reddenin' twilight, I wondered would I ever return.
Broken dreams.
I'm ridin' on a river of dreams.
Amazon, Amazon,
Is it heaven or hell?
Amazon.
An eagle flew above us, I felt the breezes blow.
Fish with teeth like ivory, waited down below.
On shore they cut and hammered, and fenced them in with wire.
While ancient fires in the jungle, burned our souls like fire.
Ridin' on a river of dreams,
Somebody's dreams.
I'm ridin' on a river of dreams.
Amazon, Amazon,
Is it Heaven or hell ?
Amazon.
What kind of creature's gonna rise up from these ashes?
What's gonna fly in the moonlight feathers aglow?
What kind of rain could come in from these sorrows?
Nobody knows, nobody knows.
At dawn we crossed the rapids, a place where few men go.
I felt the desolation, where nothing seemed to grow.
When I got my wages, I hung my head and cried.
I could not stop these visions, that swept in like the tide.
Ridin' on a river of dreams,
Broken dreams.
I'm ridin' on a river of dreams.
Amazon, Amazon,
Is it Heaven or hell ?
Amazon.
Oh, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon.

Band, The Amazon (River Of Dreams) Comments
The horrible things that we continue to do to the natural wonders of our world!
great album
This goes out to my boss, Beelzebub,...otherwise, known as Jeff Bezos, who simply sold his soul, for the almighty "buck" no matter what the consequences. Or the people's lives that he has already damaged, and still continues to do so, on an industrial level. Just because he was a little gay, Jew boy, who could not find any satisfaction out of any other resource, than technology. Most sincerely, Christopher Holden Hamilton, author of a simple and true, non fiction e book, entitled, "The Scar of Seven". He has already chosen his lot. Sodom, and Gomorrah!!!!!
