Nagourta - Submarine

I was born on a submarine
I only know what I'm told
About what I've never seen
About warmth and cold.
I was taught to think logically
But I've been beaten too many times
I must hold to sanity
I must worship the sun, the sun.

They told me yesterday
The mechanic is dead
Our vessel is far too deep
Might spring a leak they said.
I know one thing for sure
I do not want to die
Not in this metal house
Not until my eyes have seen the sun.

I live in a submarine
I worship a sun I've never seen.
I live in a submarine
I worship the sun, I do believe.

I do believe...

It's far too late
We are all going to drown
It's far too late
We're going down.
