Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I need nothing to travel the sea

I need nothing, I need nothing

But there's something eating at me

Black water, take over

...

Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea

Darker days are raining over me

In the deepest depths, I lost myself

I see myself through someone else

...

The strange silence surrounding me

Grows closer, feels colder

But I'm ready to suffer the sea

Black water, take over

...

Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea

Darker days are raining over me

In the deepest depths, I lost myself

I see myself through someone else

...

Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea

Darker days are raining over me

In the deepest depths, I lost myself

I see myself through someone else

...

Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea

Darker days are raining over me

In the deepest depths, I lost myself

I see myself through someone else

...
