Deadrise

I'm just a stowaway
Adrift in an open sea
Hapless I've stirred the deep
No small tempest looms ahead

I've thrown myself into the deep
Water fills my lungs and I can barely breathe
It rips in violent rage
It's getting harder, I can't keep treading water

I remember a faith on fire
Extinguished by sapphire seas
Why would the God of grace
Make peace with dreadful beasts?

Unmask the stowaway
Maybe then we'll all be saved
Into the briny grave
Jettison this renegade
Beneath the iron waves
You can't escape it, you can't escape this

I've thrown myself into the deep
Water fills my lungs and I can barely breathe
It rips in violent rage
It's getting harder, I can't keep treading water
