Ocean Floor
Lyrics:
[English]
The mistakes I've made
That caused pain
I could have done without
All my selfish thoughts
All my pride
The things I hide
You have forgot about
They're all behind you
They'll never find you
They're on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom of the ocean floor
My misdeeds
All my greed
All the things that haunt me now
They're not a pretty sight to see
But they're wiped away
By a mighty, mighty wave
A mighty, mighty wave
They're all behind you
They'll never find you
They're on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom of the ocean floor
Your sins are erased
And they are no more
They're out on the ocean floor
Take them away
To return no more
Take them away
To the ocean floor
To the ocean floor
To the ocean floor
They're all behind you
They'll never find you
They're on the ocean floor
(They are behind you)
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom of the ocean floor
Your sins are erased
And they are no more
They're out on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom
Of the ocean floor
Your sins are erased
And they are no more
They're out on the ocean floor
...
