[Verse 1] A searing crown atop the height Masking a hunger born of night Where milky orbs of ancient sight Wait for the dying of the light Lone pulse in a tower of stone Silence, a tongue he speaks alone Guarding a flame, a dying breath Holding the line against certain death [Pre-chorus] In the silent deep Where shadows coil A hunger waits As currents boil [Chorus] Watcher in the deep, why won't you sleep Glass between two, a feast far too true Watcher in the sea, I know you see me I feel your hunger, your longing to be free Watcher in the deep, please go to sleep It's been so long now, you're all that I see [Verse 2] A crown of salt A throne of rust A spirit worn to drifting dust Feeding the light to stall the night The all consuming void, it's sight A heavy gaze, a looming wait Two souls locked in frozen hate Glass between the breath and the brine A fragile border, a narrow line [Pre-chorus] In the silent deep Where shadows coil A hunger waits As currents boil [Chorus] Watcher in the deep, why won't you sleep Glass between two, a feast far too true Watcher in the sea, I know you see me I feel your hunger, the longing to be free Watcher in the deep, please go to sleep It's been so long now, you're all that I see [Bridge] A sudden crack The death of a spark As the world without warning Dissolves to the dark [Final Chorus] Watcher in the deep, the harvest you'll reap The silence is through, a feast here for you Watcher in the sea, now you are free We shall all weep, from the promise you'll keep Watcher from the deep, our eternal sleep It's been so long now, I'm all that you see [Outro] [Whispered] As we all slept The ride rose high Not even a chance To say goodbye
