The Sleeping Who Stays Behind? Lyrics

"Take me, take me," they yell in despair. "The ocean waves will swallow all of us."
All hope is lost. Eyes bulging wide at the end of the ropes. The victims can clearly see someone fall below.

Questioning, can a hero be of help? I'll be right here waiting.
Answer me, every hero's here to help. I'll be right here waiting.

Mother, young child and an easy way out. Guards making decisions of who stays.
Who stays behind? The boy shuts his eyes, hugs his mother goodbye. She's screaming out his name as he slips below.

"Take me, Take me." I'm right here waiting.
