Bathypelagic : Blood Throne Ascension (3281ft – 13124ft) Video (MV)

Cognate we are in blood, to lead you all from ruin
The harbingers call has sprung and the sanctum is decaying
My kin we shall not mourn even in the face of the uncertain
So the age of solace is gone but I shoulder no burden
The horde can coalesce through me

Dive to the beacon!
Slow your hearts and collapse your lungs
This toilsome pressure like no other
No longer can we float in suspended grace
Like pilgrims we venture into the gloom
Go until the sounds of the demons above are no more
To my dear son, if I expire, you must accede the throne
As we enter the unknown it is a call for them to hunt
The rake marks form at their sides but we must advance
Leave the weary behind, you must ignore their cries
The feeding frenzy turns the water red but all we can do is advance
Just as I come to dread, the despotic tyrant seizes their chance

It all happened as you said, my ascension imbued in your wisdom
It became my turn to lead and I shall honour my birthright

We weep at the sight of the fallen king, his carcass rapidly descends
Soon to be a site of abyssal feeding
His son, now in his fullness, will savour the task at hand
To lead us all in an aimless dance
You, in an aimless dance. We, in an aimless dance
As our numbers get picked away, we try to remain steadfast
Those that I love now food for the ocean floor
Crimson fills what light remains, they gather in delight to partake
Another soul descends, into the depths and we are left to rue our survival
We hold back the pains and sing our songs, gladly wait our turn, till we join them

I sense we have arrived at our judgement
To share this with you all is the ultimate joy

In circles we continue on in an aimless dance
The beacon is seen above and we form the entrance
The king for it was and now it shall be; eternal

Suddenly all resistance has given way and I find myself cascading into the darkness
Accelerating at a frightening pace, like a hand is pulling me within
Then I witness the procession, beckoning me within its reaches
They seem unbothered by my presence but feel compelled to drift in an unending rotation
As I pass by them their song rattles through my core, I will remain in motion
We no longer have anything to fear and so we have fulfilled our purpose
