From the Darkening Deep

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Beneath the waves, where the sun won’t reach,
In caverns black with silent speech,
They stirred — forgotten, bound by chains,
Whispers woven into pain.
A thousand eyes, a billion teeth,
Awoke beneath the ocean’s wreath.
No prayer could stop what once was sealed,
No sword could strike what won’t be healed.

(Chorus)
From the deep they came — no warning, no sound,
The skies turned black, the earth unwound.
Monarchs wept as towers fell,
The empire drowned in a tide from hell.
They rose with fire, with ash, with screams,
And brought the crown down to its knees.

(Verse 2)
Steel and gold could not defend
The broken lines that fate would bend.
Serpents slithered through the gates,
With hunger born from ancient hate.
The Highborn fled, their voices hoarse,
As shadows took the palace courts.
The gardens bled, the statues cracked,
And silence claimed what war had lacked.

(Bridge)
Who called them forth? Who broke the seal?
A pact forgotten, once too real.
The old gods laughed beneath the sea,
As mortals choked on prophecy.
No light remained upon the shore,
Just echoes of the world before.

(Final Chorus)
From the deep they came — no trumpet, no grace,
They tore the stars from heaven’s face.
No final charge, no martyr’s plea,
Just screaming winds and boiling seas.
The empire burned, its glory ceased—
Devoured whole by things beneath.

(Outro – spoken or whispered)
And now the tides are still again…
But listen close: they wait… beneath.
