|
The ship was sinking; we were drinking, singing one last song, |
|
Casting our gold into the ocean. |
|
You grabbed a bucket, started screaming, "Come on, come on", |
|
Trying to slow the downward motion. |
|
Back in the kingdom, we were kings and queens and Oh, so strong |
|
That God himself could not contain us. |
|
We never thought we'd be the shorter half of sword and gun. |
|
Now god himself could never save us. |
|
Waves of silver, waves of gold |
|
Are coming now to take me, |
|
To separate my body from my soul |
|
And Jesus leaves or takes me. |
|
Hopes of heaven, fears of hell |
|
Tell me, what's the chance I'll make it. |
|
All my other plans have failed, |
|
And all this time I've faked it. |
|
We started sinking, drinking water from the open sea |
|
Losing our bodies to the ocean. |
|
You grabbed my hand and started screaming, "rescue me" |
|
Together fight the downward motion. |
|
Back in the kingdom we were kings and queens and Oh, so strong |
|
That god himself just had to show us. |
|
We never thought we'd see the colder side of land and sea |
|
But he's the only one who knows us. |
|
Waves of silver, waves of gold |
|
Are coming now to take me, |
|
To separate my body from my soul |
|
And Jesus either leaves or takes me. |
|
Hopes of heaven, fears of hell |
|
Tell me, what's the chance I'll make it. |
|
All my other plans have failed, |
|
And all this time I've faked it. |
