Riptide Songtext
von Rave the Reqviem

The temple is burning as pages are turning
And altars are tainted with blood
The idols of worship are shattered to ashes
And scattered on the ruins of God

Who made the angels cry?
To drown the world and make sure nobody′s still alive
My body's heavy but it won′t let me sleep
Too strong is the riptide pulling beneath

Let me swim, let me hide
Let me breathe for a while
I will pray, I'll obey
Make it right if you turn back the time
No ark will sail for mankind
No one lives, nobody will forgive
What we have done this time


The holy water is boiling, crucifix dissolving
And soiling my hands and my mind
The clergy is burning their cloth
As they're yearning
To satisfy the beast deep inside

Who made the angels cry?
To drown the world and make sure nobody′s still alive
My body′s heavy but it won't let me sleep
Too strong is the riptide pulling beneath

Let me swim, let me hide
Let me breathe for a while
I will pray, I′ll obey
Make it right if you turn back the time
No ark will sail for mankind
No one lives, nobody will forgive
What we have done

Let me swim, let me hide
Let me breathe for a while
I will pray, I'll obey
Make it right if you turn back the time
No ark will sail for mankind
No one lives, nobody will forgive
What we have done this time


I am ready
Let the waves devour me
I am ready
To be crushed by the jaws of the sea

Let me swim, let me hide
Let me breathe for a while
I will pray, I′ll obey
Make it right if you turn back the time
No ark will sail for mankind
No one lives, nobody will forgive
What we have done

Let me swim, let me hide
Let me breathe for a while
I will pray, I'll obey
Make it right if you turn back the time
No ark will sail for mankind
No one lives, nobody will forgive
What we have done this time

I am ready
Let the waves devour me
I am ready!
