No more will I sleep with one eye open, I wake in the wreckage, drowning in the ocean,
Spitting saline from my flickering tongue, as the scattered ship comes undone
Down here the dark dank stank, where no call-sign can pull rank,
Cities twisted out of shape, that which is dead re-awakes
Scream S.O.S, save yourself, tread water on the mouth of hell
When we can’t walk we’ll crawl, when we can’t walk, we’ll crawl

Darkness lurks in the deep
Rise from the depths beneath
Catches me in its teeth
Drags me under

Out on the open ocean, I saw the edge, between the land of the living and the domain of the dead,
Eldritch horrors moved in the depths, with rotting skin and pallid flesh

Sink in the refuse of a ruined age, sink your sanctified sorrows away
Sink in the horror of the shade, sink with monsters to unknown graves
Steer this ship onto the rocks, self-destruction at all costs
See the collision and stay the course, crown yourself a king, played as a pawn
Scream S.O.S, save yourself, tread water on the mouth of hell
When we can’t walk we’ll crawl, when we can’t walk, we’ll crawl

Here’s the cry of youth, this union is dead, blindfolded and shot behind the chemical sheds
A narcoleptic’s anaesthetic is all we have left, intoxicated in the morphine bed
We’re taking on water, tell your sons and daughters, better get building their bomb shelters
Then burn them in the bins of history, leave us all with rising seas
