about

The story behind ”Haven in the Abyss” was sparked by a dream where one was living on the deep ocean floor, in a sanctuary that was surrounded by terrors of the deep. Simultaneously, we had researched and been interested in the science, biology and geology of the deep ocean. The mystery and the fact that there have been less people on the deep ocean floor than on the Moon was also a big source of inspiration for this song.

lyrics

A house in the deep dark ocean
A wreck as my shelter
Where I lie among the pearly curtains
The walls of dead coral

The lightbulbs, the anglerfish
Where bubbles dance around me
In the trench, my asylum
My peaceful abyss in the benthos
Where I'm held in the silence
Locked beneath the decks

A prisoner of the dead sea
I'm guarded by the creatures of mud
Volcanic floors, the black smokers
I'm smothered by the dark green fumes
By the lullabies of the whales
A choir of naiads

The thousand daughters of Titan
Hunting for my soul
Until I find the key
To escape the nightmare

In isolation, I dream of the sun
Far below, I am lost in the time
In the trench, my asylum

A prisoner of the dead sea
I'm guarded by the creatures of mud
Volcanic floors, the black smokers
I'm smothered by the dark green fumes
By the lullabies of the whales
A choir of naiads

The king of the octopuses
Holding the key to my salvation
Devouring my voice
As I dissolve in the sulphur tide
I am mute, buried inside the cave
The colossus with its crawling limbs
Spits out the ink to disguise its flaws
Hydrothermal fumes to execute
The animal
Hunting for my soul
Until I find the key

A prisoner of the dead sea
I'm guarded by the creatures of mud
Volcanic floors, the black smokers
I'm smothered by the dark green fumes
By the lullabies of the whales
A choir of naiads
