Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I am the first
To make so deep a dive
I hear them crank the cable
As I am welded inside
All that I have is a candle
All I can swallow is fear
As I descend to the water
To brave the bathysphere
Steel will handle the pressure
Steel my nerves or I'll break
Beneath an ocean of terror
Is this my last mistake?
I am alone
But dry, and safe, and sound
Soon I'm sure I'll surface
Yet somehow I keep going
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Water closes above me
Now the sunlight is gone
I'm not the only thing down here
What horrors lie beyond?
Shadows lurk past the window
The hungry KRAKEN or worse?
Is that the cable a-creaking?
Is this the ocean's curse?
I am alone
But dry, and safe, and sound
I know the cable can hold me
Still somehow I keep going
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Dark
The water is dark
I am silent and I am still
They said no creature on Earth could withstand this pressure
But from what I can see from the viewport window
As my candle flickers out
They were wrong
At last, I feel a tug
Pulling me from hell
I rise toward the surface
And feel my hope swell
The world is growing lighter
My metal shell is sound
I know the cable can hold me
I know I'll reach the ground
