13 Horses [Greek translation]

13 horses swimming in the sea

Waiting for someone to find them

Their ship is gone and now they are alone

With water everywhere around them

The men were saved from the sinking ship

Right before it started to burn

And while they're safe their loyal friends need help

Patiently waiting for their turn

13 horses swimming in the sea

They don't even know it's pointless

The pride remains but this time it won't help

They used to be so tall and suddenly they're small

There's a couple way too far behind

Soon they will be out of sight

But then who cares, they're dying anyway

All of them are doomed this night

11 horses swimming in the sea

The sea they thought was just a river

They're used to this, it's probably just a race

That helps to ease their minds, but where's the finish line?

The night grows dark, the body wants to rest

It hurts to breathe and still they do their best

They want to live no matter for how long

Their thoughts have disappeared 'cause now they're pretty scared

7 horses struggling in the sea

Waiting for someone to find them

They don't look back 'cause what's the point of that

There is only death behind them

They cry for help but help will never come

They don't know where to swim or what they're swimming from

They try to swim some more when panic starts to spread

They're swimming into shore but only in their heads

The 3 last horses dying in a sea

Shouting of their cries for no one

They're born to win, they're screaming in their hearts

The strength of thousand men, they're fighting 'till the end

The sun is up, birds are everywhere

They're flying high, surfing in the air

It's nice to live when life is such a bless

One horse that swims it seems to be the last

The 13th horse has always been the best

His owner will be proud but now he wants to rest

He's longing for his home, the girl will give him food

Good boy she'll say, together they will play

13 horses swimming in the sea

Soon they will be gone forever

And while they swim one thing still remains

And that's the hope that never dies

It never dies, it never dies
