I Swim Against The Tide
I Swim Day And Night
The Water Is Cold And Black
The Stream Always Drives Me Back

I Wish I Had Stayed Underwater
I Wish I Hadn't Seen The Sun

They're Patient And Hungry
I'm Wearing Myself Out
I Have To Keep Afloat
They're Swimming Right Below Me

Above The Sea The Moon Is Shining
I'm Tired Almost Blind
And Even My Best Swimming
Could Not Leave Them Behind
I Knew It Wasn't Wise
To Leave My Lower Waters
To Move Myself Upwards
I Was Attracted By The Light

I Should Have Remained In The Deeper Waters!

I Wish I Had Stayed Underwater
I Wish I Hadn't Seen The Sun

I Can't Move Any Longer
I'm Begging For Relief
The Sharks Are Getting Closer
Oh May The Kill Be Brief
