Upwelling

The mineral crust on the seabed Triggers the bloom turns the deep red All you can think as the tide ebbs Is the upwelling will soon begin Now that she's gone, don't the tears flow Watch your whole life paid out in escrow Thought you knew her, what did you know That wasn't buried in the sand No ship shall be saved Neath the crest of this mighty wave As the water claims everywhere to run The scales of justice are bent at the fulcrum Now those sent to an early grave Disembark as their song is played Crying "Nearer my god to thee" They're all ships lost in an endless sea After you salvage what's left on the outside Leaving nothing behind but a grave site Hoping to fetch a higher price You turn to the wreck itself Each scar is a lesson in conquest Terrifying view from the crow's nest Now you're barreling down towards a slow death... with your engines Full stream ahead No ship shall be saved Neath the crest of this mighty wave As the water claims everywhere to run The scales of justice are bent at the fulcrum Now those sent to an early grave Disembark as their song is played Crying "Nearer my god to thee" They're all ships lost in an endless sea You just polished off a bottle of single malt Feel you can leap ten fields in a single vault Soon enough, you'll come crashing down Ten miles away in another town The depths are a place for no man Watch them drain the life from your cold hands As nature claims back the halls that were once grand As it strips them down to bone, you know the time has come To send the final distress call No ship shall be saved Neath the crest of this mighty wave As the water claims everywhere to run The scales of justice are bent at the fulcrum Now those sent to a watery grave Rise again as their song is played Crying "Nearer my god to thee" They're two souls lost in an endless sea
