[Lyrics: Greulich / Zinicola / Sando]

[Verse 1:]
There's something beneath all this,
Whole worlds and their legions.
That still hate whichever flag,
That bound their cause and drowned it.

They said, it's only for forever,
They meant, it's only for forever.

Lovers, lands, and warriors,
Leaders, fools, and followers.
Struggled and they sank as fast,
As tides could care to see them swallowed.

They said, it's only for forever,
They meant, it's only for forever.

[Chorus:]
Say we aren't sinking,
Crying in our pride.
Take my hand in this,
And walk the ocean floor.
Join the ruins that made us,
Face the tide.
Centuries lie in layers here,
Where will never lie or love again.

[Verse 2:]
Chance to assume ever presence,
The overture begs to be conquered.
Conceited conception eternal,
Yields blood in the waters of time.

They said, it's only for forever,
They meant, it's only for forever.

Children, towers, gods, and lies,
Though they all make different cries.
Sink and stare listing whys,
Forever proud, forever sinking.

They said, it's only for forever,
They meant, it's only for forever.
