16. Against The Tide [Wish Upon A Blackstar (2012)]
I finally get what you've been saying Now that we're knee deep side by side The storm clouds are circling above us As we struggle against the tide
I feel your grip firm on my shoulder But this fear in my head won't subside They patiently circle around us As we hold out
Oh father, why have they forsaken me? You warned me that they would Because it's passing down the bloodline It's spoken and misunderstood
We're losing light And strength of will The darkened depths beckoning still Then we hold on against the tide
Another storm you're left to fight alone Remember son, you're reaping what you've sown Under the waves we're sinking like a stone I'm sorry son, you're reaping what you've sown [x2]
You're reaping what you've sown [x4]
We're slowly losing ground And hope is harder to maintain We know the prayers we prayed Feel lost like tears in the rain The water is pulling down The moon's eclipsing the sun The ending that we knew would come Has finally begun
You're reaping what you've sown It's finally begun You're reaping what you've sown I'm sorry son, you're reaping what you've sown You're reaping what you've sown You're reaping what you've sown
This sorrow weighs down on my shoulders This fear is getting harder to hide You'll leave me alone in this darkness Left to hold out Against the tide
