[Verse 1]
I walked upon a Melancholy Hill
While whale-song echoed from the chasm deep
The weight of family bonds, cementing still
The secrets that our fathers chose to keep

[Verse 2]
We drown our vulgar truths beneath the tide
And lance the boils that fester in the dark
The trust we place in blood has been belied
The soul adrift without a guiding mark
A ship of family, now unrigg'd, adrift
Conceals a cargo of unspoken shame
The veil between the worlds begins to lift
As we bear witnеss to a butcher's game

[Verse 3]
The whispеred lies of "they've abandoned you"
Eclipse the truths that burn within our soul
"I'm all you have" - both false and darkly true
Our tortured minds that struggle to stay whole

[Verse 4]
Unless, perchance, you come to me again
Mine own escape unfoldeth to my hope
Entwinéd death and life beyond our ken;
Immortal in our brief and bitter scope
