[Verse 1] At the floor there’s a salt-made door And stone eyes that forever sleep Under waves the silence walks Guarding names the deep will keep I hear ancient hulls still cry On the edge of never shore And the pearl inside my chest Always knew there’s something more [Pre-Chorus] And I sink down Sink down further Every current opens secrets Every darkness builds a kingdom [Chorus] In the deep In the deep Hidden cities wake from ash In the deep In the deep Touch the gates and you won’t turn back [Verse 2] There a leviathan holds a map Of every wreck and every chance And the weeds wrap round my wrists Like a long unanswered chant Crowns of fallen kings lie there Locked in coffins carved from bone And the faces that the ocean swallowed Burn like regret in stone [Pre-Chorus] And I sink down Sink down further Every current opens secrets Every darkness builds a kingdom [Chorus] In the deep In the deep Hidden cities wake from ash In the deep In the deep Touch the gates and you won’t turn back [Bridge] O sea Speak now Who buried empires in your sand? Who hung the midnight on your chest? Who stole the thunder from your waves? [Chorus] In the deep In the deep Hidden cities wake from ash In the deep In the deep Touch the gates and you won’t turn back [Outro] Hear the sitar weep now Over doors of wreck And the violins breathe Old Atlantis in the depths
