[Verse 1]
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
Is 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
[Chorus]
You can’t stem the tide
When the moon is bright
Wave after wave after wave
You can’t stem the tide
[Verse 2]
A shoal of tiny fish
Glitter in the mist
A galaxy below, whеre
The constellations flow
Thе jellyfish they swarm
As the waters start to warm
Threatening to sting
Their tendrils beckoning
A virtue or a sin?
If it taught me how to swim
So if swallow all my pride
Will I sink below the brine?
[Chorus]
You can’t stem the tide
When the moon is bright
Wave after wave after wave
You can’t stem the tide
