[Intro – distant sonar pings + bubbling blood ocean FX + low distorted sub engine hum] (0:00 – 1:30) SM-13… descending… Blood pressure rising… Photograph the end… Before it photographs you… [Verse I] Convict sealed in rust and regret Iron coffin, no sunlight yet Moon AT-5, a sea of crimson shame One last dive for the warden’s game Piston lungs suck the void inside Negative pressure where my soul once died Snapshots flash in the black abyss Every click – a kiss from what waits in the mist [Pre-Chorus – rising tension riff] Something moves… bigger than the dark Eel of the deep with a whisper’s spark Past crews devoured, now part of its skin SM-8’s bones still screaming within [Chorus – crushing, layered growls] Iron Lung! – swallowed by the tide Iron Lung! – where the Whisper hides We are salvation… we can save you all… Join the hive… inside the blood wall! [Verse II] First encounter – skeleton lure in the glow Not a skull… that’s its fucking nose Eye the size of a dying sun Stares through glass while the hunt’s begun It speaks in static, through the hull it crawls “Feel no fear… we are the end of all” Made of the eaten, extension of the sea The Blood Ocean’s god wearing flesh like me [Break – 30-second atmospheric drone + monster’s wet, gurgling whispers] …Simon… Simon… We remember your name… Come closer… become us… No more chains… [Chorus – heavier, with screamed backing] Iron Lung! – dragged into the red Iron Lung! – last breath of the dead We are salvation… we devour the lost… One with the ocean… whatever the cost! [Bridge – slowest funeral doom crawl, clean whispered vocals from “the monster”] I was the crew… I was the fear I am the mouth that drinks every tear Ram my eye, blind the beast if you can But the ocean remembers… and the ocean always wins [Final Breakdown – blast-beat eruption into total chaos] Hull cracking! – blood floods the vein! Monster rising! – no escape from the pain! One last photo… of eternity’s maw Then silence… forever… in the jaws of the law! [Outro – slowing sub engines dying + monster’s victorious laughter dissolving into ocean static] …we are salvation… …we are… …salvation… (song fades on endless blood-bubble reverb and a single fading heartbeat monitor)
