[Verse 1]
A Amlightning bolt Fshatters the door and AmI am caught off Dmguard
CPinned to the Emwall as my Ameyes swim in stars
You Freach in and Gswallow my Amheart
[Chorus]
FHow far Ewill it go
The Amocean Ccontinues to Frise;
But CI am Gswimming Dlike a Fshark
In the Amwaters Eof your Ameyes
[Verse 2]
AmTake me Fdancing— Amdance with me on the Dmmoon;
CRevolve with the Emworlds while Ambelow us unfurls
The Fearth Ghowling its Amdoom
[Verse 3]
The Amflowers that bloom Ferupt in the gloom to Amgarland our pathway with Dmlife
CPluck a Emcorsage for an Amadorned homage
As we Fdance in the Gdeepening Amnight
[Chorus]
FHow far Ewill it go
The Amocean Ccontinues to Frise;
But CI am Gswimming Dlike a Fshark
In the Amwaters Eof your Ameyes
[Verse 4]
The Amsong that we play's interFrupted to say that Amtoday is the day of our Dmdread
The CCapitol Emlawn is now Amo'ergrown with thorns
That have Fconsumed the Gunwilling Amland. 
[Verse 5]
AmSoft we lay on inauFguration day as our Amhearts become brittle as Dmstone
And yet Ceven Emif the Amworld implodes
My Fhand is Gyours to Amhold.
Yes Ceven Emif the Amworld implodes my Fhand is Gyours to Amhold.
[Chorus]
FHow far Ewill it go
The Amocean Ccontinues to Frise;
But CI am Gswimming Dlike a Fshark
In the Amwaters Eof your Ameyes
[Outro]
Yes CI keep Gswimming Dlike a Fshark;
I'm at Amhome in the Eblue of your Ameyes.
