lyrics

The mineral crust on the sea bed
Triggers the bloom turns the deep red
All you can think as the tide ebbs:
Is the upwelling will soon begin
Now that she's gone, don't the tears flow
Watch your whole life paid out in escrow
Thought you knew her, what did you know
That wasn’t buried in the sand

No ship shall be saved
'neath the crest of this mighty wave
As the water claims everywhere to run
The scales of justice are bent at the fulcrum
Now those sent to an early grave
Disembark as their song is played
Crying "Nearer my god to thee"
They're all ships lost in an endless sea

After you salvage what's left on the outside
Leaving nothing behind but a grave site,
Hoping to fetch a higher price,
You turn to the wreck itself
Each scar is a lesson in conquest
Terrifying view from the crow's nest
Now you're barreling down towards a slow death… with your engines
… full stream ahead

No ship shall be saved
'neath the crest of this mighty wave
As the water claims everywhere to run
The scales of justice are bent at the fulcrum
Now those sent to an early grave
Disembark as their song is played
Crying "Nearer my god to thee"
They're all ships lost in an endless sea

You just polished off a bottle of single malt
Feel you can leap ten fields in a single vault
Soon enough you'll come crashing down
Ten miles away in another town

The depths are a place for no man
Watch them drain the life from your cold hands
As nature claims back the halls that were once grand
As it strips them down to bone, you know the time has come
To send the final distress call

No ship shall be saved
'neath the crest of this mighty wave
As the water claims everywhere to run
The scales of justice are bent at the fulcrum
Now those sent to a watery grave
Rise again as their song is played
Crying "Nearer my god to thee"
They're two souls lost in an endless sea
