In Too Deep

Kursk(2018)

Too deep to go back

Down below the sea swimming with the

Fish I’ve never seen I must be in the deep

They  look at us like we don’t belong here

But we’re in too deep to go back the

Pressure reading seems to be going super high

He reports they say the temp can rise a little bit

We’re in the missile bay surrounded by

Bombs that will blow up the Ocean

I say a prayer my buddy says I don’t believe in God

Temps rise a bomb goes off we torpedoed our own sub

But we’re in too deep to be rescued especially

At the bottom of the ocean no one hears us

My wife my daughter little boy sleep not knowing anything about my situation

They wake to hear daddy’s missing but no news

Pins and needles where are they who is coming to the rescue

While they’re too deep to go back no one listens

Finally find them at the near end try to set them free

This old russian navy doesn’t work the seal is broken and rusty

No rescue for the soon to die from the state they served in

They try again seal is still broke like the homeland

The little man who thinks like kings trying to save them to save himself from embarrassment

They refuse the help of some countries that can save them he can’t let go of the secrets

This rusty bag of bolts trying to save them
Trying to do the impossible with inferior tools

Each time they try and fail our laughter sags
Lose more oxygen when we try to laugh

Our oxygen won’t last forever if mom and dad were polar bears why am I so cold

In too deep to go back unless someone saves us

Mom and dad were polar bears but I’m still cold at the bottom of the ocean

Guess we’re in too deep to save our own selves

We set up a feast a breakfast for the soon to die
We laugh and sing till the fire consumes us

While we Sing The Sailors Band

This little fool tries to comfort the families

They spit at him and throw his flowers

At the little russian fool he tightens his grip on
On the homeland
