RIP TIDE

THE RIP TIDE OF LIFE,
HAS TAKEN ME AWAY,
JUST WHAT HAS HAPPENED,
I CAN'T EVEN SAY.

ONE DAY EVERYTHING WAS FINE,
AND THEN AS THOUGH I LOST MY MIND,
I DRIFTED OUT INTO THE SEA,
THE RIP TIDE HAD TAKEN ME.

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE SO JUST RELAX,
YOU KNOW YOUR GOING NO WHERE FAST,
FARTHER, FARTHER, FARTHER AWAY,
THE RIP TIDE ALWAYS HAS IT'S WAY.

CHORUS:

UNDER THE WATER YOU CAN'T SEE,
YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR DESTINY,
THE RIP TIDE,
IT'S GOT YOU,
IT COULD BE THE END,
ON YOURSELF YOU MUST DEPEND.

DON'T TREAD THE WATER,
IF IT'S TOO DEEP,
IF YOUR NOT SURE,
DON'T STEP IN WITH BOTH FEET.
IF THE WATER IS OVER YOUR HEAD,
SWIM THE OTHER WAY INSTEAD.

YOU MAY ALREADY BE ON THE DESCENT,
BUT THIS IS NO ACCIDENT,
WATER SO BLACK YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE,
YOU LOST CONTROL OF YOUR DESTINY.

CHORUS:

UNDER THE WATER YOU CAN'T SEE,
YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR DESTINY,
THE RIP TIDE,
IT'S GOT YOU,
IT COULD BE THE END,
ON YOURSELF YOU MUST DEPEND.
