Empty Caskets
I’ve been swallowed by the darkness
I’ve been tossed out to the sea
Another victim of the shipwreck
Swimming up from underneath

Clawed my way up through the bodies
The lonely captain and his crew
I’m crippled by fear and there is nothing I could do

When I finally reached the surface
The smell of death was in the air
Burning steel and burning flesh
Oh dear god am I in hell

The water’s so cold and the sky is black
There’s a chance that I won’t be coming back
I decided to move before everything fades and turns to black

Empty boxes floating on the surface of the sea
Empty boxes rusted shut surrounding me
Empty caskets for the ones who’ll never leave
Empty people waiting for their chance to grieve
I swam and swam for days on end
Wishing home was around the bend
My body’s hurting, my mind is gone
But I’m determined to move on

I prayed for my god to keep me safe
I don’t want to come home to an empty grave
I’ve got to be strong, I’ve got to push on
I’ve got to be brave

I give up I’m going to die
And yet I feel so strange inside
I’ve accepted death, I’ve accepted my fate
I ask for forgiveness before it’s too late

I’m sorry my love I’m not coming home
I’m sorry for everything I did wrong
I can feel my body sinking it won’t be long
