Lurking shadows whisper
As the siren's call breaks through the night
Ocean waves draw me in
Away from the fading light

Diving down into dreams
Where secrets quietly reside
In the night's silent hush
Fears and truths collide

Into the abyss
Where the light seems to miss
Heart feels love’s caress
Sorrow's cruel kiss

Into the abyss
Breathless I descend
Ocean depths so dark
Will this be my end?

Currents pull me under
Love’s deceit wraps me tight
Anchors at my feet
Dragging me out of sight

Silent screams swallowed
Lost in the deep unknown
In this endless dark
My soul becomes a loan

Into the abyss
Where the light seems to miss
Heart feels love’s caress
Sorrow's cruel kiss

Into the abyss
Breathless I descend
Ocean depths so dark
Will this be my end?

Falling deeper and deeper
Drifting far from the shore
Heartbeat pleads with the ocean
Begging for no more

Waves claim a piece of me
Lost in the cost
Love’s tormenting ocean
Wondering what's been lost

Into the abyss
Where the light seems to miss
Heart feels love’s caress
Sorrow's cruel kiss

Into the abyss
Breathless I descend
Ocean depths so dark
Will this be my end?

Drift away, surrender
To the ocean’s core
In love’s dark embrace
I breathe no more
