lyrics

I've been through the sea's with no one left but me
As I sailed through the flooding of the rain
I'm choking from the tide as it tossed me to the side
And the day is blackened yet again

And I saw when the waves went driving to the graves
And there was no one to be saved
When you hear it's not right, drowning in the night
As they all fight for their lives

With the falling of the tree's in hope the sails will set them free
And this bitter thought of losing keeps us sane
We'll cup our ears for sound as our faces start to frown
And the story of our existence is explained

And the oceans do kill off anything that will
Send their fists smashing to the ground
And the grey colored sky will tell us many lies
As we all turn our heads back around

Reflection painted waves keeps the long forgotten slaves
Until the voice of reason speaks to you
When the sky meets the ground is when the light will turn around
And we'll all know exactly what to do

But we'll sink into the sea's chasing what we see
As we drift down to the floor
And their pride is surely saved to live out another day
With no thoughts to think of anymore
