We spent a life together

That 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 good 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 up 



The bluest skies turn into gray 

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 rising tide

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 up 



Your devastation took its 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'd 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

I hope you know someday this ship will be your end
