lyrics

This life
This endless suffering
In these deep black waters
Beneath the swell, we drown
And as I surface, I long to die upon the shore
Besides your corpse in immortal guilt
Please let mine lie still

Let my soul contort in shame
to the absence of your breath
Let my name wash away
before my flesh decays
To the depths
To the abyss
May death be my penance
Further I descend
In this life of endless suffering

Hear the waves crash against the earth
While the sky bleeds fading light
Let my body break in the endless swell
Before your lifeless eyes ever meet mine

The blackened day
It calls to me
Don't fear the rapture
That waits in the depths
Let the light die
Let the world fade away
Let the air burn black
In our final breath
May the earth drown in ash in our final day
Let the grey fill your lungs

Beneath bellowing clouds
Under the rubble of our violent decay
There will be no hands to the sky
Fall to your knees and pray to the seas of death
Wash away, wash away our sins
sea of the dead
