Voivod - The Nile Song Lyrics






I was standing by the Nile
When I saw the lady smile
I would take her for a while
For a while

Light tears wept like a child
How her golden hair was blowing wild
Then she spread her wings to fly... for to fly

Soaring high above the breezes
Going always where she pleases
She will make it to the island... in the sun

I will follow in her shadow
As I watch her from my window
One day I will catch her eye

She is calling from the deep
Summoning my soul to endless sleep
She is bound to drag me down, drag me down

Voivod The Nile Song Comments
  1. S.... L....

    Démentielle version

  2. p.... ....

    the cover they did of Astronomy Domine
    was one of the greatest moments of music. This one ain’t so bad either

  3. E.... K....

    My lovely friend Magda brought me here!! I think I like this better than the original!!

  4. J.... C....

    Oh WOW! They work hard on this one! I love it

  5. R.... T....

    For better that Voivod could do, they can't make a better vocal than Gilmour;)

  6. P.... R....

    Heavy Floyd YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH !!!!!!!!

  7. m.... j....

    Nearly as good as the original! Heavy Pink Floyd from the 60s😁

  8. A.... !....

    So many people who don't know the whole Pink Floyd discography have know idea that The Nile Song is totally metal. Voivod clearly love thier Pink Floyd. And I love em' both.

  9. M.... T....

    I will say voivods' drummer is a helluva lot better than pink floyds' weakest link, Nick Mason. Hard to beat Waters and Gilmour, tho...

  10. D.... D....

    :D It Was Their PINK FLOYD Cover That Turned Me Onto VOIVOD!!!

  11. B.... M....

    Voivod covers Floyd quite well on a few songs!!!

  12. P.... T....

    Fantastic. Really does the original proud. Great album too.

  13. m.... m....

    This song was written for voivod

  14. N.... F....

    melvins cover is awesome as well.

  15. M.... ....

    WOW!!!...love this kind of voivod!..baby you know what you got!

  16. J.... L....

    Awesome cove!

  17. C.... C....

    I seen Pink Floyd live.... I've seen Voivod live.... But this cover version of the song is pretty frk'n cool. Both bands live were amazing! Love the whole Voivod album btw...

  18. D.... ....

    I didn't get into Pink Floyd until I heard Voi Vod's cover of Astronomy Domine. I didn't know they did any other Floyd covers, this is so cool. Pretty sure this is my favorite Floyd song.

  19. s.... ....

    this version is awesome!!

  20. s.... ....

    Cojonuda versión!!

  21. l.... a....

    Heavy Pink Floyd Metal

    The heavy metal of Doctor Floyd 

    l.... a....

    Floyd's version is even heavier.

  22. S.... H....

    Had to check this out when I found that Voivod covered this...the Original Pink Floyd version is actually Heavier!?
    Great cover though, the heaviest song of the 60s is now officially a metal song.

    S.... H....

    Your statement is bang on correct. Doesn't the screaming on this sound so much like careful with that axe eugene? 

    S.... H....

    Wow! It sure does. Voivod has never been your typical metal band since Killing Technology. Wait, make that since their debut. Their first two wasnt progressive or anything but boy was it more abrasive and chaotic than anything else at the time. (apart from Venom?)

    S.... H....

    Yeah, Floyd's original is heavier than this.

  23. e.... ....

    sooooooooo crap

  24. m.... ....

    The Nazis at EMI keep taking the original Nile Song by Pink Floyd down !!

    m.... ....

    yeah never trust a nazi.

  25. B.... K....

    i don't think the intension was to make a better version, Voivod only covers masterpieces

  26. p.... p....

    very well done cover..and great visions of the Nile.....

  27. C.... S....

    Good, but not quite as good as the original. Still, well worth finding.

  28. D.... ....

    Nothing touches the original people, that's well established. but this is bad ass

  29. M.... ....

    maybe because it's a cover ?

  30. b.... r....

    There are about 6 bands that have covered this track. This must be the best of all of them

    b.... r....

    Melvin's version is way harder.

  31. p.... ....

    Good cover but not better than the original !

    p.... ....

    ploermel56490 no dude, just no

  32. J.... M....

    Not better than the original, but nobody covers Pink Floyd like Voivod.
