VEGVISIR Beneath the ice

A descent into the place where pain becomes quiet. [Verse 1] The elevator sinks from sight, The floors devour fading light. I lost the place where spring had been, And kept your shadow under skin. The wet glass doesn’t show my face, Just broken signs and empty space. All we were, and all we made, Turned into ash where fire prayed. [Chorus] Black water, carry me, Take my voice into the deep. I never knew that misery Could wear the shape of sleep. Black water, let me go, Do not lead me back inside. I loved you more than you could know, Then woke beneath the ice. [Verse 2] The radio breathes through the wall, A ghostly signal, thin and small. You do not come to me at all — Only through cracks where seconds fall. Cold smoke gathers on my tongue, A rusted needle in my lung. We tried to live, we tried to stay, But I was first to fade away. [Chorus] Black water, carry me, Take my voice into the deep. I never knew that misery Could wear the shape of sleep. Black water, let me go, Do not lead me back inside. I loved you more than you could know, Then woke beneath the ice. [Bridge] Do not call me back again, All our days have lost their flame. What we once called paradise Is now a room without a name. I do not cry — I burn below, Silent where the black roots grow. I whisper you into the dark, And let your name erase my heart. [Final Chorus] Black water, carry me, Take my voice into the deep. I never knew that misery Could wear the shape of sleep. Black water, let me go, Let the hollow doorway die. I loved you more than you could know, Then woke beneath the ice. [Outro] Beneath the ice… Where light cannot remain. Beneath the ice… Where nothing knows our name.
