Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I fold my hands across my breast

No stones to weigh upon my chest

No fist to clench, no furrowed brow

Though cold, I'll sleep more soundly now

[Chorus]

No stranger sunset have I seen

The wavy lines, I float between

Converges, spirals and surround

And draw me further underground

[Verse 2]

Between the layers in the soil

I crash through shale and splash in oil

My relentlessness is finally quit, woo-hoo, ooh

And I am warming up a bit

[Chorus]

Below a kingdom bathed in ink, now opening the onyx gates

I sense the reaper as I sink, within, oblivion awaits

[Refrain]

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

[Instrumental]

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash (Oblivion awaits) through the shale (Oblivion awaits)

And splash (Oblivion awaits) in the oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash (Oblivion awaits) through the shale (Oblivion awaits)

And splash (Oblivion awaits) in the oil (Oblivion awaits)

In the oil

[Instrumental]

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash (Oblivion awaits) through the shale (Oblivion awaits)

And splash (Oblivion awaits) in the oil (Oblivion awaits)

I crash (Oblivion awaits) through the shale (Oblivion awaits)

And splash (Oblivion awaits) in the oil (Oblivion awaits)

In the oil
