From the recording Forever Empty
Lyrics
VS1
I was out late one night walking down by the river
When I heard the sound of someone weeping in the air
I could barely make it out, but it sounded like a woman
There was such a chill all I could do was stop and stare
My dad told me stories of a mother's awful deed
In a jealous rage she drowned her two kids one by one
She took out a blade and slit her wrist then lowered herself in
Caught between our two worlds forced to live with what she’s done
VS2
The hour's getting close to midnight and I’m still awake
I crack the window just a bit letting the cold air in
Even though I’m terrified I want a closer look
I close my eyes and then I see the details of her sin
I creep to the edge of the bed and then I slip on my shoes
I make my way across the field toward the icy water
There I hear a sad cry calling out to me
Oh sweet boy please help me I can’t find my daughter
VS3
I feel a little strange I must be in some kind of trance
Almost like I’m floating my mind completely clear
A sudden realization coming over me I’m dead
Even though I’ll never breathe again I have no fear

Don’t go by the river at night cause you just might get held under
When you hear the cries from La Llorona just run away
Don’t go by the river at night cause you just might get held under
Whoa…..
Held under
Ending
Held under
Held under
Held under
Held under
