Lyrics

Archipelago

One by one, they fell into the sea

The gleam extinguished; arduous future wait for me

Gravity; the deep pulls me under

Darkness fills me, and I gurgle as is sink

THE CLOUDS ABOVE ARE DARK, I CAN FEEL IT!

AS ARCHIPELAGO WANTS TO SWALLOW ME

MY BLOODSHOT EYEBALLS; MY PRESSURED LUNGS

MY LIFE; MY LIFE IS IT SLOWLY FADING!?

CONATION COMES IN WAVES; THEY TAKE YOU TO THE SHORE

RISE!

RISE!!

RISE!!!
