lyrics

I drift and sway in the undertow, knowing I can't move
My own words echo in the afterglow, of something cruel and untrue
Time has come for what I deserve, I've earned the debt of betrayal
Penance is mine, and now I will serve, a harvest of red portrayal

Down, down - by your decree
Drown, drown - into the sea
Burn, burn - within the fire
Yearn, yearn - for life expired

I wait in fear for the blade to fall, to feel the pain I inflict
You sit in joy, hear my helpless call, my affliction you predict
The moment's here now for my demise, reparation of which I'm afraid
She laughed and said,
"You can't be that surprised; bitter deeds are always repaid."

Down, down - by your decree
Drown, drown - into the sea
Burn, burn - within the fire
Yearn, yearn - for life expired

With the pierce of steel, the scorch of flame, drowning, mute, submerged
Cathartic fury born of boundless pain, the rage is beautifully purged
Essence is ebbing, life's blood evanesce, my breath begins to subside
Grim consequence, suffering without end, reaps a karmic suicide

Down, down
Drown, drown
Burn, burn
Beg for mercy

Down, down
Drown, drown
Burn, burn
No where to flee

Down, down
Drown, drown
Burn, burn
You won't be saved

Down, down
Drown, drown
Burn, burn
Sleep in your grave.
