Cold steel lungs one final breath
Salt-stung prayer to silent depths
Lantern flickers, swallowed whole
By blackened trenches of the soul
Compass spins, the surface dies
Sunlight fades from leaden eyes
Chains of pressure pull me down
No name spoken, none to be found
I hear the echoes of the last diver
Calling from a world below
Forgotten bones in the ocean's altar
Where the living never go
Steel and flesh, baptized in silence
I sank so you could breathe
Now I am myth, I am the violence
Echoes underneath the sea
Minutes stretch to endless years
Rust blooms thick on borrowed fear
Hands reach out through drowning time
Grasping ghosts that won't be mine
Radio screams, then fades to black
No signal left to bring me back
Hull is cracking, mind is gone
Depth, remember what you've done
I hear the echoes of the last diver
Calling from a world below
Forgotten bones in the ocean's altar
Where the living never go
Steel and flesh, baptized in silence
I sank so you could breathe
Now I am myth, I am the violence
Echoes underneath the sea
No cross to mark where I descend
No bell to say this is the end
Just shifting silt and ancient eyes
Watching as my daylight dies
Pressure... crushing every name I wore
Memory... scattered on the ocean floor
Hear the echoes of the last diver
Still knocking from inside the deep
Oaths of iron, lungs of fire
Laid to rest but never sleep
You sail above, unscarred, unknowing
While I haunt the undertow
I am the cost you never noticed
Echoes of the last diver below
Bubbles rise like dying stars
Surface world feels endlessly far
If you listen when the waters breathe
You'll hear what's left of me
