Haken
Drowning in the Flood
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Calling S.O.S. in deep despair
Please teach me, how the hell do I breathe down there?
Waves crash on me, I can't hold my breath
There's no coming up for a gasp of air

[Chorus]
And as the tears fall on us now
The chances are that I will drown
I've sacrificed all that I love and care about
Drowning in the flood

[Verse 2]
Speak or forever hold your face
Mourning in the sunken city weeps
Steal my thunder in your tempest hail
We'll surrender when the levee fails

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Human corpses floating side by side
Washed up with the distant moonlit tide
Only she can save our sorry souls
Priceless freedom coming at a heavy cost
[Chorus]
But I can't turn back hands of time
She knows her purpose is to die
I've sacrificed all that I love and care for, I'm
Drowning in the flood

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I'm sorry, I'm sad with a sense of regret
It fills my lungs
It's not too late to suffocate, the price I will pay
For what I've done

[Verse 4]
We are trapped under the sea
But we made this ocean
In one day, it takes my breath away

We were drowning she was free
Now she's gone forever
I will pay, she takes my breath away

[Chorus]
Will we live to tell the tale?
Is it worth the price we paid?
Are we praying for the sun?
Or are we drowning in the flood?
(Drowning in the flood)
Will we live to tell the tale?
(Drowning in the flood)
Is it worth the price we paid?
(Drowning in the flood)
Are we praying for the sun?
(Drowning in the flood)
Or are we drowning in the flood?
(Drowning in the flood)
Drowning in the flood

[Outro]
