RIVER RUN RED LYRICS:
I pray for many things, not all of them are good.
I know you'd understand if you could only see.
If only I had wings. I'd leave here if I could,
but this moat's the only thing that keeps the world away from me
and the water's too clear to hide...
River run red!
Keep me safe behind the stone.
I have to rely on you.
I've no shield of my own.
Believe me, I've bled
far too much for one lifetime.
So river, if you hear me,
let no one cross the line.
This story's just begun. It can't be over yet.
So much still to look forward to. So much still to dread.
I know not everything can turn out as I wish,
but still, there must be compromise between perfect and this.
The more I run for the door, the further away it gets.
Pinch me, tell me I'm dreaming 'cause I cannot reach the end.
River run red!
Keep me safe behind the stone.
I have to rely on you.
I've no shield of my own.
Believe me, I've bled
far too much for one lifetime.
So river, if you hear me,
let no one cross the line.
Believe me, I've bled
far too much for one lifetime.
So river, if you hear me,
let no one cross the line.

I really like the idea that the castle listen to her every command unless she's thinking of or planning an Escape

[@CourtOfWinter]

...I'm gonna use that in a roleplaying plot.

[@RekaCath]

I just discovered her yesterday trough 'hey Alice' and I now have already listened to all of her songs.... I just found my new favourite artist

[@suicidalsnail7493]

I really like how the water blends to red trough the video.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Thanks, I spent a while tweaking that and getting it right! :)

[@XxIsharaidreistheelfxx]

I do too

[@XxIsharaidreistheelfxx]

I can’t stop listening to it ever since I found it

[@dragonkingofthestars]

the more i listen tot his the more I keep thinking of the narrative of this song. It has no story attached to it, but the lyrics tell a story and they imply something abut the singer (not you I mean, I mean who's singing on the other side of the fourth wall).

[@mahinnnadiamoinkus3648]

How is this much talent possessed by a single person alone, thisis madness I tell ya! MADNESS!! In all seriousness though you're so talentedand I'm obsessed with your music, thank you so much for this!~

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+Red Rose Aww, that's so sweet, thank you so much!!

[@camilagochomoto]

That reminds me of Morgana Pendragon, from Merlin BBC

[@thepalacequean8504]

Thank you for having the lyrics! I love how the font matches the words.

[@thedatabase677]

So beautiful! I have a feeling this might become a favorite of mine.

[@loreleifae4730]

So, so beautiful, as always. Love this song and the whole album. :)

[@EyeEvil1995]

I'm always impressed by how much feeling you put into your songs.

[@destinybarrett4638]

this just gave me so much inspiration for my next book! tysm!

[@blacklion8307]

Oh, I so waited for this song. It's my favourite from the album.

[@samuelwhite1129]

I know, They're all so good, but this one wins overall

[@tcaramel6175]

Jokes aside, I love how bright and powerful the whole song is, and your typo's on point :). That was really good thank you for sharing your music on youtube.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+Thé Caramel Thank you! :)

[@star6588]

Your songs are awesome !

[@lunawithsol1342]

I LOVE IT

[@erikaautio9037]

I love this freakin' much. Like woaaah.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+Aya Drevis Thanks Aya! :)

[@GoneLookingForMyself]

So beautiful! And the video turned out awesome, the typography fits the song really well.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+GoneLookingForMyself Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun learning my way around After Effects to make videos like this :)

[@theonionassassins982]

It gave me chills

[@dragonfire1259]

It makes me. . . satisfied.

[@krzeslicko]

Catchy! I like it

[@midnightroseblood3906]

I relate to this song...so much makes me think of my childhood and back then I would be injured a lot..... not saying who it was but...I would be shedding a lot of blood

[@theawarburton6267]

amazing!

[@Raven-wh2it]

This would be AMAZING in a choir!

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

i'd love to hear that :o

[@aligorzeimet4029]

Not bad. Very well done. You cuold be right up there with Nightwish and Epica if you started a full on band.

[@distrustthealchemist8216]

This is AWESOME! What do you use to make your music and videos?

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

thank you :) i use cubase for music and after effects for videos

[@anajuliavieira7228]

I love the album "Where's your Wonderland?", will you make more songs like those ones?

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+Ana Júlia Vieira thanks Ana! Glad you like it :) what do you mean by like those ones, though? It's a pretty big question and I just want to make sure I know what you mean before answering.

[@anajuliavieira7228]

Hmmm, not even I know how to explain myself properly XDD I think that by by like those ones I mean songs with a soft soundtrack (piano and some instruments that I can't identify) that gets angrier sometimes with your voice overlaying it. They're kinda different from the metal ones that you're making now. I don't think that my point is very clear... just ignore my comment. But this is a very good song too! I love the lyrics

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+Ana Júlia Vieira haha it's okay, it's a tricky and subjective thing to explain! Do you mean songs like Fall To Sleep, Iron Children, Nightingale etc with the way they're pianocentric but build up? Because if so then yes, I'm hoping to get back to a bit more like that soon :)

[@anajuliavieira7228]

Exactly, those are the ones that I was thinking about!

[@poppymiller4351]

Hi, firstly I absolutely love this song 💖 But also, would you mind if I used this song for a dance competition? Nobody would profit from it and you would be credited, just wanted to check if it's okay with you 💞💞

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Hi Poppy! Thank you so much 😀 that sounds absolutely fine, go ahead! Thanks for giving me those details straight away, it's helpful. All the best!!!

[@poppymiller4351]

Thanks so much 💗💗

[@samuelwhite1129]

Oh, BTW, have you read/watched the UPD8?

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+Darius Blake i uh. i have. i sure do have opinions on it.

[@Lina-qn5hj]

Is it a metaphor?

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+Chlorella I didn't specifically write this one as a metaphor - I was just imagining a princess stuck in a besieged castle the whole time haha - but I try to write in a way that my lyrics don't have to be taken literally, even if that's how I'm picturing them.

[@Isaac-hm6ih]

@@RachelRoseMitchell Well, it worked. I took this as pure metaphor about the experience of suppressing emotions, and I'm normally very literal minded. Also, good song.

[@---IAM---]

harmony ?

[@dragonkingofthestars]

I know your saying 'line', but I keep hearing "Rhine"

[@asummer6dbz]

Either way it's fitting.

[@tcaramel6175]

When the river runs red, you gotta use the muddy path.

[@branwedavies7390]

Rachel are yoku british ?

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Nah, I'm Australian :)

[@tidalgrunt6549]

hey i dont know if you still read it or if you have a bad past with the fandom or just list interest but i gotta ask: did you know homestuck started updating again and is almost finished?

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+Tidal Grunt yeah i'm following along!! so scared my bae karkat is gonna die in act seven tbh

[@tidalgrunt6549]

***** yeah i hope he lives. Im mostly just pissed at roxy though.

[@samuelwhite1129]

+Rachel Rose Mitchell Karkat's victory though... wth was that? how?
