Lyrics
VERSE I
Falling alone over water and stone
DEVILS WHO DARE THE NIAGARA
Drawn to the edge of the river bed ledge
They were hoping to live so much longer
CHORUS
Who knows what lies below the mountain of water we see
What spirits remain from that moment of fame
When they felt the power
They heard the thunder
They touched eternity
VERSE II
In barrels or boats down the river they'd float
Then over the falls they'd go flying
The first to survive said no one else should try
But the call of the falls was much stronger
REPEAT CHORUS
Who knows what lies below the mountain of water we see
What spirits remain from that moment of fame
When they felt the power
They heard the thunder
They saw eternity
BRIDGE
We can only imagine what it's like to go over the top
The roar of the siren's song
The plunge that nothing can stop
REPEAT CHORUS
Who knows what lies below the mountain of water we see
Do angels still dwell in that dare devil's hell
Do they feel the power
They hear the thunder
They touch eternity
While devils get washed to the sea
