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
