The Kill Songtext
von Birmingham 6

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
