Analysis of The Abyss



Spiraling deep into the dark abyss
Looking up, seeing all I miss
Traveling Faster, Falling Deeper
Losing all hope, Does she know I seek her
So bright, the light above
Belonging to you, my true love
Spiraling Further, Getting Colder
Wishing for that chance to hold her
Emotions transcending
I keep descending
Light is fading
Hope is evading
Time is slipping
My heart is ripping
At the bottom, soon I'll be
Oh my love, please find me
In the dark, all alone now
How do I get out of here, not sure how
The time has come to face my fears
From my eyes, pour the tears
From the silence, the beating of my heart
So painful, the thought of being apart
With my last breath, I choose to pray
Oh my Love, please find the way
From the darkness, comes the light
Could this be you, I think it might
Through the light, I see your face
Upward, I begin to race
In your arms, soon I'll be
Oh my Love, you found me
Holding you tight, never letting go
From my heart, this you must know
Forever together, Always we'll be
From the abyss, you have rescued me
