13 horses

13 horses swimming in the sea
Waiting for someone to find them
Their ship is gone
and now they are alone
with water everywhere around them
The men were saved
From the sinking ship
Right before it started to burn
And while they´re save
Their loyal friends need help
Patiently waiting for their turn
13 horses swimming in the sea
They don´t even know it´s pointless
The pride remains
But this time it won´t help
They used to be so tall
And suddenly they´re small
There´s a couple way too far behind
Soon they will be out of sight
But then who cares
They´re dying anyway
All of them are doomed this night
11 horses swimming in the sea
The sea they thought was just a river
They´re used to this
It´s probably just a race,
That helps to ease their minds
But where´s the finish line?
The night grows dark
The body wants to rest
It hurts to breathe and
Still they do their best
They want to live
No matter for how long
Their thoughts have disappeared,
´Cause now they´re pretty scared!
7 horses struggling in the sea
Waiting for someone to find them
They don´t look back
´Cause what´s the point of that
There is only death behind them
They cry for help
But help will never come
They don´t know where to swimm
Or what they´re swimming from
They try to swimming some more
When panic starts to spread
They´re swimming into shore
But only in their heads
And 3 last horses dying in the sea
Shouting out their cries for no one
They´re born to win
They´re screaming in their hearts
The strenght of thousand men
They´re fighting till the end
The sun is up
Birds are everywhere
They´re flying high
Surfing in the air
It´s nice to live
When life is such a blast
One horse still swims
It seems to be the last
The 13th horse
Has always been the best
His owner will be proud
But now he wants to rest
He´s longing for his home
The girl will give him food
"Good boy," she´ll say
Together they will play
13 horses swimming in the sea
Soon they will be gone forever
And while they swim
One thing still remains
And that´s the hope, that never dies
It never dies
It never dies
Waiting for someone to find them
Their ship is gone
and now they are alone
with water everywhere around them
The men were saved
From the sinking ship
Right before it started to burn
And while they´re save
Their loyal friends need help
Patiently waiting for their turn
13 horses swimming in the sea
They don´t even know it´s pointless
The pride remains
But this time it won´t help
They used to be so tall
And suddenly they´re small
There´s a couple way too far behind
Soon they will be out of sight
But then who cares
They´re dying anyway
All of them are doomed this night
11 horses swimming in the sea
