[Verse 1]
Salt on my tongue
Rust in my lungs
Sky splits open
Old wounds stung
Charts all fading
Ink runs black
Thunder counting
Each heart crack
Lantern swinging
Names on my teeth
I drink down lightning
And sing to the deep
[Chorus]
Oh
The deep
The deep
Keeps calling
Low voices rise as the world keeps falling
Past in my bones
Future in the roaring storm
Where the old gods twist in a new-born form
Oh
The deep
The deep
Keeps pounding
Hear those hidden hearts resounding
From the broken hulls to the cold abyss
Sea monsters dance to an iron kiss
[Verse 2]
Eyes in the foam
Watch every roll
Cold fins brushing
The keel of my soul
Tales from the tavern
Breathe in my ear
Turn into shadows
That bloom under here
Storm writes riddles
On steel-gray waves
I shout my curses
They answer with graves
[Chorus]
Oh
The deep
The deep
Keeps calling
Low voices rise as the world keeps falling
Past in my bones
Future in the roaring storm
Where the old gods twist in a new-born form
Oh
The deep
The deep
Keeps pounding
Hear those hidden hearts resounding
From the broken hulls to the cold abyss
Sea monsters dance to an iron kiss
[Bridge]
[Beat strips back
Distant choral hum]
Sing
Brothers
Sing
To the teeth in the tide (hey!)
To the gears in the gale
Where the old ghosts ride
Sing
Sisters
Sing
To the cold glass eyes
To the chrome-bright fins
In the blackened skies
[Chorus]
Oh
The deep
The deep
Keeps calling
Low voices rise as the world keeps falling
Past in my bones
Future in the roaring storm
Where the old gods twist in a new-born form
Oh
The deep
The deep
Keeps pounding
Hear those hidden hearts resounding
From the broken hulls to the cold abyss
Sea monsters dance to an iron kiss
