Select language to translate this lyric
I swim defeated and exhausted
Others also swim slowly with or without a goal
Not near and not far, attached to many a path
Despite hope, they lose every game
Too deep the sea to see the
Who, diving, with little air, looks to the light
Who lies dying on the bottom, close to the dead
Who are now broken, but once swam like me
Some travel on ships, guided by the star
Safe and dry past those below
Growingly only look into the distance for other ships
A ship with the same destination, with the same slavery
For the ship only sails with the work of those
Who once swam freely and now row captive
A tribute for bread and dry warmth
That they pay to their exploiters year after year
Only fly at the top of the sky
None of those who are fighting below can do this
All fight in the sea of u200bu200bdamnation, of life
The battle for bread or gold or death Blessing
The sea has always been there
And it will never disappear
For man is the sea and that drama
Where everyone is blinded by the shine of gold
You can flee not you
You have to decide
Anvil or hammer you can only be
In this hypocritical world â cold as stone
