Deeper Down Lyrics - A Line Of Deathless Kings - My Dying Bride

An unfortunate journey 

Through a bleak sea of loneliness 

I carved through the waves of grief 

In a black vastness of self doubt 

I have never felt so alone 

So pitiful and wretched and low 

I'm tried by a terrible wind 

The misery and the pains blow 

Fill my vast sails of ruin 

Steer me towards the bleak end 

A horizon of purples and reds 

The still waters of my welcome end 

The clouds of grey come overhead 

A storm will hunt me down 

And rip the guts out of my body 

Then I would surely drown 

The unforgiving wind searches 

And lashes me like a whip 

The self-pity overwhelms me 

My heart sinks like a ship 

Thrashing out at torment and pain 

The maddened sea engulfs me 

I let myself be swallowed up 

The magnificent weight upon me 

Deeper I go, deeper down 

Didn't think it could get any blacker 

The cold bites, the pressure builds 

I think I no longer matter 

Can't tell if my eyes are open or closed 

The grieving waters swallow 

The pain I'm in through my life of sin 

The Devil will doubtless follow 

When lovers die, friendships fade 

When kin all lie forgotten 

The gates of agony spew forth 

Your memories, stinking and rotten 

So deep now, I feel so numb 

I'm ravaged by utter loss 

The guilt, the grief, the astounding pain 

My body, they all will wash 

I hope I ne'er return to life 

Oh, Christ, just let me go 

Let death devour my simple soul 

Lets my misery grow
