Drowning

(album: Alive And Dead - 1996)

Pulled down to the depths, I feel that I am going under
Swept away I struggle now, gasping for my last breath
Choking me, I can not breathe
Liquid vision, all I see

Drifting, no sign of life
Floating dead, the tide carries me

Fluid fills my lungs, as my eyes open wide
I can't reach the surface, no sense of true direction
My body turns violently
Cramping limbs, too weak to swim

Drifting, no sign of life
Floating dead, the tide carries me
Drowning, too weak to swim
Floating dead, the tide carries me away

Submerged in this grave
My body set adrift
Skin is white and cold
Sinking to the depths, to the depths
In this liquid terror
Dead and motionless

Drifting, no sign of life
Floating dead, the tide carries me
Drowning, too weak to swim
Floating dead, the tide carries me

Crushed by rocks and current, I float up to the surface
My body washed ashore, swollen from exposure
Black and blue, lifeless dead
Suffocation in liquid

Drifting, no sign of life
Floating dead, the tide carries me
Drowning, too weak to swim
Floating dead, the tide carries me away
