[English]

You can drown in your sorrows, you can float out to sea

Where the maelstrom is hollerin', for a moment you're free

Oh, vanguard warrior, you're a long way from home

Where the eagles are soaring, and kings are enthroned

Can you save me?

Can you save me?

Can you save me?

I've been struck by lightning

You've been spared from the gallows, but it's still not the end

You got the rest of your life to make your amends

It's harbor you're seeking, and shelter from harm

Don't leave me here stranded, better sound the alarm

Can you save me?

Can you save me?

Can you save me?

I've been struck by lightning

The heavens opened up, and an angel spoke:

"You can't go home, they'll just keep throwing stones

You're better off on more enlightened shores

You stick around and you'll get nothing"

Can you save me?

Can you save me?

Can you save me?

Struck in the back by lightning, struck in the back by lightning

Struck in the back by lightning, struck in the back by lightning

...
