[Verse 1]
I took the blade to sea
With my name in the salt
Every step went under
Every vow grew cold
The DeepWater took my breath
Then gave it back in scars
I walked with a dead man's weight
And a fire in my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Battle after battle
I kept my head down low
Blood on my hands
And nowhere left to go
The tide kept calling
Through the black below
I heard your voice
In the undertow
[Chorus]
DeepWater, carry me home
(DeepWater, carry me home)
I was made of ash and bone
But I still came through
DeepWater, split the dark
(DeepWater, split the dark)
I will earn my light
With every wound
[Verse 2]
Kill after kill, I count
Like stones in my pack
Loving and leaving
What I can't get back
A mother in my memory
A hand I let go
A crown of broken promises
Clinging to my throat
I learned the shape of mercy
By the edge of the blade
I learned the price of victory
In the names I could not save
[Pre-Chorus]
Battle after battle
I kept my head down low
Blood on my hands
And nowhere left to go
The tide kept calling
Through the black below
I heard your voice
In the undertow
[Chorus]
DeepWater, carry me home
(DeepWater, carry me home)
I was made of ash and bone
But I still came through
DeepWater, split the dark
(DeepWater, split the dark)
I will earn my light
With every wound
[Bridge]
If redemption has a face
I'll meet it in the storm
If mercy knows my name
Let it pull me from the storm
I am not the man I was
But I'm still here, still whole
Every life I couldn't hold
Is the weight that made me grow
[Final Chorus]
DeepWater, carry me home
(DeepWater, carry me home)
I was made of ash and bone
But I still came through
DeepWater, split the dark
(DeepWater, split the dark)
I will earn my light
With every wound
DeepWater, call my name
(DeepWater, call my name)
I will rise from the pain
Into what is true
DeepWater, take my chains
(DeepWater, take my chains)
I walk through the fire
And into the blue
