[Verse 1: Deep, gravelly, hostile vocal] The weight of this fucking ocean is a vertical mile of lead. I am the goddamn predator that the mariners dread. Salt, silt, sulfur, and shit. I am the shadow where the sun doesn't hit. The surface is a lie for the weak and the blind. I am the pressure that’s crushing your mind. [Effect: Metallic Bang] Every fathom is a boot on your fucking chest. I am the silence in the tectonic rest. I speak to the angler, I speak to the rot. I am the king of the things you forgot. The hull is screaming, the rivets are blown. I am the king on a deep-water throne. Beneath the currents, beneath the debris. I am the master of the godforsaken sea. [Chorus: Massive Layered Unison, Violent Reverb, Sub-Octave Distortion] DEPTH IS THE POWER. DEPTH IS THE WEIGHT. FUCK THE LIGHT AT THE ABYSSAL GATE. [Reverb: Dark and Endless] HEAVY IS THE LIQUID. HEAVY IS THE BLACK. YOU’RE SINKING TO HELL AND THERE’S NO TURNING BACK. [Verse 2: Rhythmic Chanting, Aggressive Slapback Echo] "Bathyal," "Abyssal," "Hadal," and "Gloom." I am the architect of a watery tomb. I am not a man, I am a creature of brine. I’m breaking the spine of the human design. The words are heavy, they sink like a stone. I am the marrow in the whale-fall bone. [Effect: Low-frequency Hydrophone Thrum] "Hadopelagic," the trench is a cunt. I am the hunter on a permanent hunt. I am counting the scars on the skin of the dark. I am the fucking megalodon shark. I am the mercury, I am the slime. I am the bastard at the end of time. Phosphorus, sulfur, manganese, and silt. I am the wreckage that the sediment built. [Verse 3: Gritty, Monotone, Pressurized Stutter] "Hydrazine," "Methane," "Thermal," and "Grit." I am the fire in the bottomless pit. The "Magic" is a pressure that flattens your soul. I am the vacuum and I am the hole. I summon the "Kraken," the beast and the bane. I am the witness to the hydrostatic pain. The ink is the blackness of the squid and the ray. I am the rot that won't go away. [Effect: Sound of Metal Shredding] I am the scribe of the trench, the voice of the deep. I am the secret that the carcasses keep. Diatoms, plankton, coral, and shell. I am the bellman in a deep-water hell. [Chorus: Sub-Octave Layer, Screamed Choral Chant, Underwater Filter] DEPTH IS THE POWER. DEPTH IS THE WEIGHT. FUCK THE LIGHT AT THE ABYSSAL GATE. HEAVY IS THE LIQUID. HEAVY IS THE BLACK. THE SURFACE IS GONE AND THERE’S NO TURNING BACK. [Verse 4: Whispered Growl, Maximum Diffusion Reverb] "Tiamat," "Leviathan," "Dagon," and "Fear." I am the sound that you’re never gonna hear. I am naming the currents, I am naming the tides. I am the place where the nightmare hides. The floor is a desert of silicate dust. I am the anchor that is turning to rust. [Effect: Wet, heavy rhythmic slapping] I am the grain in the wood, the rust in the chain. I am the rhythm of the cold-blooded pain. "Bioluminescence," a chemical fuck. I am the shadow when you’ve run out of luck. I speak to the basalt, I speak to the mud. I am the salt in the goddamn blood. [Verse 6: Rapid Chanting, Bit-Crushed, Submerged Distortion] "Ichor," "Naphtha," "Polymer," and "Grease." I am the end of your pathetic peace. I am the friction of the plate on the plate. I am the master of the hydrostatic fate. Cobalt and nickel, silver and brine. I am the secret in the trenches of time. [Effect: High-frequency Sonar Sweep] I am the lock on the bulkhead doors. I am the sound of the deep-seated roars. The geometry of the abyssal plain. I am the pressure and I am the pain. I am the one who is watching the continents drift. I am the bastard in the tectonic rift. [Bridge: Chaotic, Overlapping Multi-Tracked Gurgles and Screams] "Mariana," "Tonga," "Kermadec," "Death." I am the one taking your final breath. "Philippine," "Bougainville," "Puerto Rico," "Void." I am the world that the water destroyed. "Aum," "Amen," "Selah," "So mote it be." I am the cunt of the gravity sea. [Effect: Massive Implosion Sound - 10 Seconds of Sub-Bass] [Verse 7: Final Descent, Guttural, Maximum Compression] The density is absolute. The water is a wall. I am the one who is enjoying the fall. The Ten-Minute cycle is a monolith of brine. I am the master of the horizontal line. One last incantation, one final fuck. You’re at the bottom and you’re out of luck. The light is gone and the world is a grave. I am the master and you are the slave. [Effect: Massive Iron Valve Slamming] The ink is now water. The paper is sand. I am the king of this godforsaken land. [Outro: Fading Low-End Hydrophone Hum, Sub-Bass Pulse] The pressure remains. The darkness returns. Forget the fucking surface. The abyssal lamp burns. [Final Effect: A final, distorted sonar ping. Sound of water rushing into a vacuum. Total silence.]
