[Verse 1] They found her driftin' dead and still A rusted mouth in a black sea The logbook bled across the floor Every page said "don't follow me" Dr. Weir stood up too calm Smilin' like he knew the door [Pre-Chorus] Then the lights went thin and red And the walls began to breathe We heard our names in static teeth From somewhere underneath [Chorus] Stay away from hell Stay away from hell The ship came back wrong And it called us in as well Stay away from hell Stay away from hell What came through that gate Knows your fear too well [Verse 2] Miller crossed the frost-white deck With his gun and his hard old stare Parker cursed at every screen While blood hung dark in the air The gravity spun like a wound And the past crawled out of the dark [Pre-Chorus] In the fire room, in the smoke We saw what the void had kissed A hundred eyes behind one face And a grin like a split wrist [Chorus] Stay away from hell Stay away from hell The ship came back wrong And it called us in as well Stay away from hell Stay away from hell What came through that gate Knows your fear too well [Bridge] We tore through the blood-soaked bulkhead Found the captain nailed to the wall Then Weir laughed through a broken jaw Like the deep had taught him all I saw my own hands turn judged Saw my own sins wear my skin And the corridor kept getting smaller As the black began to win [Breakdown] Open the gate Open the gate It wants your soul It wants your shape Open the gate Open the gate Pray too late Pray too late [Final Chorus] Stay away from hell Stay away from hell The ship came back wrong And it called us in as well Stay away from hell Stay away from hell When the black comes home There’s nowhere left to tell [Outro] We cut the line We smashed the screen But the dark was already here Floating close Inside our breath And learning how to steer
