We spent our lives together It should have last forever But now it's time to sail on
So take this anchor from my heart So we can finally drift apart Before we drown in sorrow
Ho-ohhhh Ho-ohhhh
I gave you sanctuary Under the sun we lived care free I tried so hard to love you
But then you turned your back on me Your good intentions turned to greed And now it's great to know that.. you.. have.. been..
Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed ohhhh Ho-ohh Ho-ohh
The bluest skies turned into grey Through tortured eyes I watched you change A paradise went up in flames And though I cried a thousand times You didn't hear the lies in time There's nowhere left to hide since.. you.. have.. been..
Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed ohhhh
Your devastation took it's toll As the waves came crashing to the coast This sinking ship, I'm taking back from your control
It felt so good to cross my arms and renounce my faith in mankind How could you ever be so blind to think that you survive
Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed up by the ocean I hope you know that nothing matters Now that you.. have.. been.. Swallowed up by the ocean Swallowed up by the ocean I hope you know this ship has finally come to rest I hope you know this ship has finally come to rest Oh, I hope you know someday this ship will be your end.
