[Verse] Down in the depths where the sunlight won't reach We sail through the black Past caverns that preach The whispering voices of mariners lost We ride the cold under; we bear the deep's cost [Verse 2] With ballast tanks groanin' and engines that wheeze We dive where old Kraken and shadow-fish tease Our lanterns flicker The hull holds fast In the grip of the ocean Our fate has been cast [Chorus] Oh We are the crew of the steel-bellied whale Through treacherous waters Where spectres do hail With chanteys we rattle the dark icy gloom Our barotrauma's a watery tomb [Verse 3] The captain he hollers commands through the mist While we plug the leaks with a saltwater kiss The sonar pings soft Like the ghosts of old times Guiding our vessel through silent sea chimes [Bridge] In the cold In the dark We embrace our own fears In friendship and hardship The bonds draw us near From ballast to turret From engine to prow We fight for each breath in the depth’s wicked scowl [Verse 4] With bioluminescence glowing like dreams And creatures that shimmer in malevolent seams We've stories of horrors that no mate will tell In the baro's deep clinch Near Heaven and Hell
