The chase was hard (to the water)

The chase was long (to the sunlight)

Through the searing heat of the midday sun

I'm out of breath, I am gasping out

I'm almost gone, I am almost gone

My heart it is beating, my heart it is pounding

Looking back, there's something there

Against the rocks, burning clear

I see his shape with the horns and spear

So did you make it safe to the promised place?

And did they take you in like you were part of them?

You wanted it so much – all those days of dreaming

You gave it all your faith, you gave it all your faith

And I remember the night we passed each other

You were like the last on Earth, still praying, still praying

My heart it was pounding, my heart it was beating

With him standing there with the horns and spear
