Ever marvel at a picture, never knowing where it's from?
Ever hid from mass extinction when it set its eyes upon
Such a tiny little bother, made of metal, steel and copper
One that's holding on and sinking in an ocean never watered
Down? Deeper in the deep, deep, darker depths of sea
What may creep outside, no excuse to leave
Where we've been inside, introduced a lead
You'll emerge alive? No guarantee
At the surface, nothing waiting to preserve us
Why fight against the waves when we can flow along the currents?
In the scale of the universe, you serve a greater purpose
Set sail, but make sure you never fail to alert us
What's down in the depths, don't drown to expect
A sort of life form too hard to detect
Set course to the next, ignore all regret
Explore the ocean and settle your debt
This is not an expedition, this is not a cry for help
This is not a real mission, yeah, you're lying to yourself
When it comes to execution, here's a story you won't tell
You may get your execution, but you won't be freed as well
From the info gathered from those ordered in
You forget how strange the orbit is
One mistake and you'll know what torture is
A minor case of mismatched coordinates
To earn your freedom, no, you'll never need a crew
Gotta travel through the flood, the one we set aside for you
There's a thicker kind of ocean, likes of which we never knew
Ever quicker through the motions, a new life will start anew
Since the rapture's keeping quiet, have a think on why it stopped
Why moons were unaffected, maybe fate had just forgot
Were you really that defiant as a person? Maybe not
No reason to ascend to heaven as an astronaut
What's down in the depths, don't drown to expect
A sort of life form too hard to detect
Set course to the next, ignore all regret
Explore the ocean and settle your debt
This is not an expedition, this is not a cry for help
This is not a real mission, yeah, you're lying to yourself
When it comes to execution, here's a story you won't tell
You may get your execution, but you won't be freed as well
Doesn't matter who you send in, doesn't matter where you dwell
Know the phantom light is fading and you'll never break the spell
When it comes to mass extinction, you don't know how far you fell
You may get your execution, but you won't be freed as well (freed as well)
