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
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
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, oh
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
