Lyrics

He dives down into the cold water. at first he is thrown onto the rocks, and pulled under the water by a fast moving channel, which takes him right past john, down river

Moving down the water
John is drifting out of sight
Its only at the turning point
That you find out how you fight

In the cold, feel the cold
All around
And the rush of crashing water
Surrounds me with its sound

Rael manages to grab a rock, pull himself to the surface and catch his breath. as john is carried past, rael throws himself in again and catches hold of his arm. he knocks john unconscious and then locking themselves together, he rides the rapids into the slow running water, where he can swim to safety

Striking out to reach you
I can't get through to the other side
When you're racing in the rapids
There's only one way, thats to ride

Taken down, taken down
By the undertow
I'm spiralled down the river bed
My fire is burning low
Catching hold of a rock that's firm
I'm waiting for john to be carried past
We hold together, hold together and shoot the rapids fast

But as he hauls his brother's limp body onto the bank he lies him out and looks hopefully into his eyes for a sign of life. he staggers back in recoil, for staring at him with eyes wide open is not john's face - but his own

And when the waters slow down
The dark and the deep
Have no-one, no-one, no-one, no-one
No-one left to keep
Hang on john! we're out of this at last
Somethings changed, that's not your face
It's mine - it's mine!
