lyrics

Horrendous seas of savagery
Succumb to the calling
Watch the devil take its true form
It wont be long until face meets floor
Mission compromise abort
A legacy written in shame

Drifting in spirits cast into the sea
Drowning sorrows waiting for the promised sleep

Venus passes before the sun
Long before the deed was done
While the demons fought it out in your head
Swimming in a sea of disease
Searching for the escape
While the beast pulls with all of its weight

Drifting in spirits cast into the sea
Drowning sorrows waiting for the promised sleep

These dry winds have worn a path through this place
Digging for answers with a knife in his rib cage
The godless smile of this lumbering beast
looking for treasure in a watery grave

Drifting in spirits cast into the sea
Drowning sorrows waiting for the promised sleep
