Deeper Down
An unfortunate journey Through a bleak sea of loneliness I carved through the waves of grief In a black vastness of self doubt I have never felt so alone So pitiful and wretched and low I'm tried by a terrible wind The misery and the pains blow Fill my vast sails of ruin Steer me toward a bleak end A horizon of purples and reds The still waters of my welcome end The clouds of grey come overhead A storm will hunt me down And rip the guts out of my body That I would surely drown The unforgiving wind searches And lashes me like a whip The self-pity overwhelms me My heart sinks like a ship Thrashing out at torment and pain The maddened sea engulfs me I let myself be swallowed up The magnificent weight upon me Deeper I go, deeper down Didn't think it could get any blacker The cold bites, the pressure builds I think I no longer matter Can't tell if my eyes are open or closed The grieving waters swallow The pain I'm in through my life of sin The Devil will doubtless follow Loneliness is agony For those of you who know A war of grief and sadness rages Through mind, body and soul When lovers die and friendships fade When kin all lie forgotten The gates of agony spew forth Your memories, stinking and rotten So deep now i feel so numb I'm ravaged by utter loss The guilt, the grief, the astounding pain My body, they all will wash I hope I ne'er return to life Oh, Christ just let me go Let death devour my simple soul Lest my misery grow I quietly leave. A lonely sight Relieved of all my guilt To join a wall of deepest Hell The Devil himself has built.

Screaming out Windows of victory Tolling bell Burn into history Screaming out Icons of hating Tolling bell Drifting on, man's pier As ghost we swords clash Racing up the stair of god Fury's fire Oceans of sorrow Dark desire Dream has to fall in The ancient child of eternity Not a thing of this world Tortured movements Into the terrible seas Drowning, drowning Time is lost for every man Counting downwards Poised with arms Raised for holy angels Conquerors, warriors Holy angels Leaving flight A bloody sight Crimson rivers Screaming out Windows of victory Holy hell The child of eternity

Open me And drink up my scarlet Kiss me deep Kiss me deep and love me forever more Bloody love Bloody love inside of you Swallow me Thank God, there's nothing I can do Come with me my friend, come and see the end And let me swallow up your pain Leave the village lights, step into the night Open your mouth to my bloody rain And at your second birth, we will slay the earth And stalk mankind 'til Heaven burns Just lay down for me, naked for me to see It's just one kiss, that's all I need (Kiss) Take me down Down to the bloody shore Dig me deep, dig me deep And leave me forever more Lay me down Down with all of them And forget me Like you forgot the rest of them
