[Intro – ominous low strings, sudden drum blast]
Shadows rising from the cold
Terror that the tides have told
[Verse 1 – chugging guitar riffs, fast tempo]
Beneath the surface where the light begins to fade
A silent hunter waiting in the dark parade
I feel the pressure crushing every breath I take
The ocean shudders and the frozen waters shake
There is no hiding when the monster finds its prey
The blue horizon turns to shades of deathly grey
[Pre-Chorus – rising tension, double kick drums]
The water breaks behind my back
A wall of teeth in white and black
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Caught in the turning of the tide
[Chorus – explosive power, soaring vocals]
Out of the deep the nightmare screams
Ripping apart my shattered dreams
Giant of iron, king of the sea
Death is the only thing I see
Rising from hell to claim the throne
Leaving me broken and alone
[Verse 2 – aggressive bass, rhythmic percussion]
Cold eyes are staring through the salt and through the foam
This liquid graveyard is the only place called home
The jaws are open like a gate to the abyss
I feel the sting of every freezing water kiss
My heart is pounding like a hammer on the steel
The final moment is the only thing that's real
[Pre-Chorus – frantic energy, building speed]
The water breaks behind my back
A wall of teeth in white and black
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Caught in the turning of the tide
[Chorus – maximum intensity, layered guitars]
Out of the deep the nightmare screams
Ripping apart my shattered dreams
Giant of iron, king of the sea
Death is the only thing I see
Rising from hell to claim the throne
Leaving me broken and alone
[Bridge – slow heavy breakdown, distorted vocals]
Silence falls beneath the wave
Welcome to your watery grave
No one hears the final cry
Underneath the burning sky
[Solo – shredding guitar solo, high energy]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Final Chorus – ultimate climax, orchestral backing]
Out of the deep the nightmare screams
Ripping apart my shattered dreams
Giant of iron, king of the sea
Death is the only thing I see
Rising from hell to claim the throne
Leaving me broken and alone
[Outro – fading feedback, sound of waves]
The surface closes overhead
Lost among the living dead
