An orange light appears It signals night is here Fluorescent like the reefs That used to lie beneath A flickering at sea Is guiding you to me A tower in the gloom Just an empty room All my hopes and fears Are dashed upon the cliffs The sea is dark and deep And it's consuming me You can't stem the tide When the moon is bright ♪ Wave after wave, after wave ♪ You can't stem the tide ♪ A shoal of tiny fish Glitter in the mist A galaxy below, where The constellations flow The jellyfish, they swarm And the waters start to warm Threatening to sting Their tendrils beckoning A virtue or a sin? If it taught me how to swim If I swallow all my pride Will I sink below the brine? ♪ You can't stem the tide When the moon is bright ♪ You can't stem the tide When the moon is bright ♪ Wave, after wave, after wave ♪ You can't stem the tide ♪ When the moon is bright
