Water bursts from shattered stone
A choking gasp that's not its own
Salt-white eyes and coral skin
Something ancient rising in
Chains drag hard across the floor
Rust and bone and something more
Voice like thunder drowned in brine
Speaking words from older time
Hear the harbour's heartbeat pound
Feel the cellar shake the ground
From the depths where none should be
It claws its way from memory
Drowned acolyte
Risen from the tide
Drowned acolyte
No place left to hide
Bound in salt and broken oath
Servant sworn to something loath
When the black waves start to roll
It comes to claim its toll
Lantern light begins to fail
Water floods the rotten rail
Hands like anchors seize and tear
Cold as midnight ocean air
Symbols blaze in bleeding red
Calling what they thought was dead
Every breath a stolen cry
Every strike a reason why
Hear the harbour's heartbeat pound
Feel the cellar shake the ground
From the depths where none should be
It claws its way from memory
Drowned acolyte
Risen from the tide
Drowned acolyte
No place left to hide
Bound in salt and broken oath
Servant sworn to something loath
When the black waves start to roll
It comes to claim its toll
You can strike but it won't fall
You can run but hear the call
From the deep where shadows bide
You cannot escape the tide
Drowned acolyte
Risen from below
Drowned acolyte
Now the harbour knows
When the cellar floods with night
You can see it in its eyes
The sea has found its voice at last
And it will not compromise
