I’ve been swallowed by the darkness

I’ve been tossed out to the sea

Another victim of the shipwreck

Swimming up from underneath

Clawed my way up through the bodies

The lonely captain and his crew

I’m crippled by fear and there is nothing I could do

When I finally reached the surface

The smell of death was in the air

Burning steel and burning flesh

Oh dear god am I in hell

The water’s so cold and the sky is black

There’s a chance that I won’t be coming back

I decided to move before everything fades and turns to black

Empty boxes floating on the surface of the sea

Empty boxes rusted shut surrounding me

Empty caskets for the ones who’ll never leave

Empty people waiting for their chance to grieve

I swam and swam for days on end

Wishing home was around the bend

My body’s hurting, my mind is gone

But I’m determined to move on

I prayed for my god to keep me safe

I don’t want to come home to an empty grave

I’ve got to be strong, I’ve got to push on

I’ve got to be brave

I give up I’m going to die

And yet I feel so strange inside

I’ve accepted death, I’ve accepted my fate

I ask for forgiveness before it’s too late

I’m sorry my love I’m not coming home

I’m sorry for everything I did wrong

I can feel my body sinking it won’t be long
