My Dying Bride - Deeper Down

My Dying Bride - A Line Of Deathless Kings - 08.Deeper down

Deeper Down

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 toward a 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
That 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

Loneliness is agony
For those of you who know
A war of grief and sadness
rages
Through mind, body and
soul

When lovers die and
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
Lest my misery grow

I quietly leave. A lonely sight
Relieved of all my guilt
To join a wall of deepest
Hell
The Devil himself has built.

[Cheesepuffs414]

This song makes me want to die in the most wonderful way possible.

[necrowinter666]

this band is another revolution in its own genre (doom metal)

[ratlungwoom]

electric wizard is 100x better.

[finnjaevel]

Shouldn't the lyrics be "Are my eyes, open or closed" instead of "Can't tell if my eyes are open or closed"?

Listen and decide.. think it's wrong!

[DavidAtomic]

@DeadManSinging1 I guess it's both

[KilledByLifeItself]

@DeadManSinging1 Definitely DOOM! The entire Gothic Metal genre is one of the worst classifications ever made by man and a joke, since it put together bands with blatant differences like Nightwish (power metal) and TON (doom). And it also generates confusion (Goth Rock isn't related to Gothic Metal).

[MasakoXer]

@DeadManSinging1

doom metal.

[MasakoXer]

@DasHaehnchen

then don't listen to doom metal if you find this boring.

[DeadManSinging1]

Is this Gothic Metal or Doom Metal?

[fluffymaster89]

love this song :)

[finnjaevel]

Sick song. Lovely

[CerebrumTranceStep]

In the name of Doom, this is the most uniquely brutal thing I've ever heard.
