Damned to the Depths

[Verse]
Fog drifts like whispered secrets across black waves,
Lanterns sway on ghostly masts, trembling in the night.
A distant moon catches the edge of a blade,
The crew leans into shadows, chasing something unseen.

[Violin Solo]

[Chorus]
Tentacles rise from the inked depths,
Eyes glimmer like old promises.
Ghosts dance on splintered decks,
Steel and shadow under pale moonlight.

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
Salt stings and sprays, mixing with quiet fear,
The water coils around timbers as if it remembers.
Cutlass sparks kiss the mist,
Every swing a question, every strike an answer withheld.

[Violin Solo]

[Chorus]
Tentacles rise from the inked depths,
Eyes glimmer like old promises.
Ghosts dance on splintered decks,
Steel and shadow under pale moonlight.

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
Wind tears at tattered sails, murmuring secrets,
The captain’s eyes glint, steady against the dark.
Waves roar and break, swallowing shapes,
Each breath a hesitation, each step a defiance.

[Violin Solo]

[Chorus]
Tentacles rise from the inked depths,
Eyes glimmer like old promises.
Ghosts dance on splintered decks,
Steel and shadow under pale moonlight.

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge (slower, reflective)]
A figure drifts alone, humming to the unseen,
The sea listens, holding stories it will never tell.
Eyes meet the depths, cold and patient,
The night folds in on itself, quiet as a secret.

[Violin Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Tentacles rise from the inked depths,
Eyes glimmer like old promises.
Ghosts dance on splintered decks,
Steel and shadow under pale moonlight.

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
The tide slips away, leaving traces,
Only moon and mist recall what passed.

[Violin Solo]

Battle-paced goth-inspired pop-rock, edgy, fake, male vocals, biting electric guitars, hint of pirate shanty
