Emperor

Drowning Man

Waves like gentle caresses 

Tides might bring them home 

Drowning Man, deep in love 

Breathless and alone 

 

Torn between the two 

The surface and the bed 

Hang between the choices

Drowning, not yet dead 

 

Soon the moon shall pull

Let what\'s lost decide

The lost said the tide will bring them 

Now we await the tide

 

What brought breath under water

Was a thought of their return 

The body may be drowning 

But the heart will only burn

 

Twice the tide came 

What\'s lost still remains 

Tomorrow will be new tides

And we shall drown again
