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 safe

their loyal friends need help

Patiently waiting for their turn

13 horses swimming in the sea

They don't even know it's pointless

Their pride remains

but this time it won't help

They used to be so tall

and suddenly they're small

There's a couple waiting 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 all disappeared

'Cause now they're really 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 swim

or what they're swimming from

They try to swim some more

when panic starts to spread

They're swimming in to shore

but only in their heads

The 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 strength of thousand men

They're fighting to the end

The sun is out

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 thirteenth 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
