River of the Clans

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I hear you calling through the ancient stone

Rioparento river where the druids roamed

Through oak and ruin through knight and thorn

You flowed before the first sword was drawn

Pre-Chorus

Oh river old river hear my prayer

From highland spring to ocean air

Chorus

Rioparento

Flow through the clans flow through time

By blood by oath by steel by rhyme

Rioparento

Anima mea

Post-Chorus

Io io flumen aeternum

Io io carry us home

Verse 2

You saw the Celts in painted blue

You saw the kings in morning dew

Crowns have turned to dust and rust

But Rioparento you flow on you must

Pre-Chorus

Oh river old river hear my prayer

From highland spring to ocean air

Chorus

Rioparento

Flow through the clans flow through time

By blood by oath by steel by rhyme

Rioparento

Anima mea

Post-Chorus

Io io flumen aeternum

Io io carry us home

Bridge

Sanctus Rioparento

Aqua sacra aqua celtae

Veni veni take us home

Drop

Hear the river hear the drums

Rioparento comes

Hear the river hear the drums

From source to sea set us free

Chorus

Rioparento

Carry my name in waters cold

Through mist through Celtic lore

Rioparento

Forevermore

Post-Chorus

Io io flumen aeternum

Io io forevermore
