The Stupendium
Iron Lung
[Musiclide]
Ever marvel at a picture never knowing where it's from?
Ever hid from mass extinction when it set it’s eyes upon
Such a tiny little bother, made of metal, steel and copper
One that's holding on and sinking in an ocean never watered

Down deeper in the deep deep darker depths of sea
What may creep outside, no excuse to leave
Where we've been inside, introduced a lead
You’ll emerge alive? No guarantee

[Gridline Studios]
At the surface, nothing waiting to preserve us
Why fight against the waves when we can flow along the currents?
In the scale of the universe you serve a greater purpose
Set sail, but make sure you never fail to alert us

What's down in the depths, don't drown to expect
A sort of life form too hard to detect
Set course to the next, ignore all regret
Explore the ocean and settle your debt

[The Stupendium]
This is not an expedition, this is not a cry for help
This is not a real mission, yeah, you're lying to yourself
When it comes to execution here's a story you won't tell
You may get your execution but you won't be freed as well
[Musiclide]
From the info gathered from those ordered in
You forget how strange the orbit is
One mistake and you'll know what torture is
A minor case of mismatched coordinates

To earn your freedom, no, you’ll never need a crew
Gotta travel through the flood, the one we set aside for you
There’s a thicker kind of ocean, likes of which we never knew
Ever quicker through the motions, a new life will start anew

[Gridline Studios]
Since the rapture's keeping quiet, have a think on why it stopped
Why moons were unaffected, maybe fate had just forgot
Were you really that defiant as a person maybe not
No reason to ascend to heaven as an astronaut

What’s down in the depths, don't drown to expect
A sort of life form too hard to detect
Set course to the next, ignore all regret
Explore the ocean and settle your debt

[The Stupendium]
This is not an expedition, this is not a cry for help
This is not a real mission, yeah, you're lying to yourself
When it comes to execution here's a story you won’t tell
You may get your execution but you won't be freed as well
Doesn't matter who you send in, doesn't matter where you dwell
Know the phantom light is fading and you'll never break the spell
When it comes to mass extinction you don't know how far you fell
You may get your execution but you won't be freed as well
