The Sunken Place
Music: Viktor Jonas | lyrics: Andy Walmsley
Welcome, my friend, welcome to the end
Welcome to the sunken place
Where there is no salvation
And there is no escape
No-one will hear you screaming
Not quite dead, not truly dreaming
As you sink towards the bottom
Falling farther from the light
Into a nightmare neverending
Slowly sinking, still descending
Deeper and deeper and deeper we go, falling into the abyss
Weaker and weaker and weaker we grow, unable to resist
The chilling siren song
Telling us this is where we belong
If this is truly hell, it’s one we made all by ourselves
Oblivion now beckons, arms wide open to embrace
As we sink, succumb, surrender, to the call of the sunken place
Cold, and alone
Cold, and alone
Cold, and alone
Lost in the darkness
Cold and alone
A rictus smile upon your face
Staring out through glassy eyes
Windows to the soul still trapped inside
Oblivion now beckons, arms wide open to embrace
As we sink, succumb, surrender, to the call of the sunken place
The silence is deafening
A silence so loud
It swallows everything
And slowly drags you down
