Miles from the coast, the shipwreck sinks like lead
Beneath the salty waves, toward the bleak seabed
The freezing, blinding rain, wind like a hurricane
Lightning cracks the sky, and I slip under
(Beneath the waves)
I'm adrift and lost at sea
(Under the tide)
Can't see the forest for the trees
(Storm raging on)
Don't know whether to fight or flee
(Lighthouse in sight)
And the ocean will take me
The blackness of the waves reflects the lunar glow
Don't know what lies ahead, can't see what lies below
Frantic, swimming blind, in the ocean of the mind
A tidal wave rolls in and drags me under
(Beneath the waves)
I'm adrift, it will take me
(Under the tide)
Can't see the forest for the trees
(Storm raging on)
Don't know whether to fight or flee
(Lighthouse in sight)
Prepare for burial at sea
(Beneath the waves)
I'm adrift and lost at sea
(Under the tide)
Can't see the forest for the trees
(Storm raging on)
Don't know whether to fight or flee
(Lighthouse in sight)
The ocean won't take me
