lyrics

Gripping on driftwood,
no land in sight
Trapped by the ocean,
in the dead of night
Loosening grip
Cling for dear life
Crackling of thunder
Piercing white light

Falling below
Tumbling into darkness
In terror I kick for my life
Reaching for the fading surface light

Proprioception
lost
Tumbling forever
Which way is up?
Maw of the ocean
swallows me whole
Unending darkness
below

Deep sea terrors
hiding
In my periphery
their smooth forms gliding

Through impenetrable
darkness
Eldritch eyes
gaze into me

From the depths of the abyss
below me,
Unknown horrors
lick at my feet

In desperation
I'm grasping
at anything
That can pull me free

Sickly touch
of tentacles
Gripping me

Flailing arms
Kicking legs
Struggling to break free

No hope
of reprieval
from this watery grave
A futile
effort
In survival's name

Air
Leaves my mouth
Water
Fills my lungs
Pain
Sears my chest
Fear
Grips my heart

In final hours
Peace
envelops me
Despite
my imminent
loss of life
My soul roams free

about

Sloven Adelaide, Australia

Sloven is a drudging yet relentless spewing of doom and gloom, born out of the confluence of black metal, doom metal, death metal, post-punk, goth, and hardcore. We're tuned down, sludgy, evil, and hypnotic.
