One Last Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The ship was sinking, we were drinking, singing one last song, casting our gold into the ocean
You grabbed a bucket, started screaming, "Come on, come on, let's try and slow the downward motion"
Back in the kingdom, we were kings and queens and oh-so strong that God himself could not contain us
We never thought we'd be the shorter end of sword and gun, now God himself could never save us
[Chorus]
Waves of silver, waves of gold are coming down to take me
Separate my body from my soul and Jesus either leaves or takes me
Hopes of heaven, fears of hell, and what's the chance I'll make it?
And all my other plans have failed and I tried so hard to fake it
[Verse 2]
We started sinking, drinking water from the open sea, losing our bodies to the ocean
You grabbed my hand and started screaming, "Rescue me, come on, let's fight the downward motion"
Back in the kingdom, we were kings and queens and oh-so free that God himself just had to show us
We never thought we'd be the colder side of land and sea, but he's the only one who knows us
[Chorus]
Waves of silver, waves of gold are coming down to take me
Separate my body from my soul and Jesus either leaves or takes me
Hopes of heaven, fears of hell, and what's the chance I'll make it?
And all my other plans have failed and I tried so hard to fake it
