On the water
 There's a shadow lying
 Down by the shore
 Wasn't there a year before?
 A sacrifice for the coat
 He's wearing
 A "paradise" for the lady

 Who dares
 Colour him red upon the snow?

 We carry the burden upon our shoulder
 We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
 Don't you care about the state you're in
 Or don't you understand?

 There's a spirit floating
 On the water
 See the shadow lying
 Down by the shore
 Wasn't there some years ago??

 We carry the burden upon our shoulder
 We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
 Don't you care about the world your in
 Or don't you understand
