This Ocean Crooked
from Hold Fast EP by Down In One
lyrics
Hang up your guns
No need for them arms to medicate
Never found any calm to speak of
When last shots ring out, dull thud on wood
'cause I lost myself in staring
At the bottom of an ocean crooked
Helpless before a soundless mouth
As a figure rose up before me
And a voice rang clear
I've cut my wings
Into torrents of blood and feathers
Now won't you follow me?
This figure with the weeping wings
Outstretched its palms
Cuts bloomed from a monstrous idol
I took its hand
And there I found myself
At the bottom of an ocean crooked
In front of a soundless mouth
Staring deep into the gloom
And I woke up blind
Hands grasping for the shore
Surrounded by blood and feathers
And I followed you
I paid the silver
I took your hand
But this silence that I sorely hungered
Never lingers long
Hang up your guns
Oh drown your demons
I say hang up your guns
And drown your demons
God I woke up blind
Miles from the shore
Feathers fall to gore and ichor
Still I followed you
I paid the silver
I took your hand
But this silence that I sorely hungered
Never lingers long
No need for them arms to medicate
Never found any calm to speak of
When last shots ring out, dull thud on wood
'cause I lost myself in staring
At the bottom of an ocean crooked
Helpless before a soundless mouth
As a figure rose up before me
And a voice rang clear
I've cut my wings
Into torrents of blood and feathers
Now won't you follow me?
This figure with the weeping wings
Outstretched its palms
Cuts bloomed from a monstrous idol
I took its hand
And there I found myself
At the bottom of an ocean crooked
In front of a soundless mouth
Staring deep into the gloom
And I woke up blind
Hands grasping for the shore
Surrounded by blood and feathers
And I followed you
I paid the silver
I took your hand
But this silence that I sorely hungered
Never lingers long
Hang up your guns
Oh drown your demons
I say hang up your guns
And drown your demons
God I woke up blind
Miles from the shore
Feathers fall to gore and ichor
Still I followed you
I paid the silver
I took your hand
But this silence that I sorely hungered
Never lingers long

about
Down In One Nottingham, UK
Back in 2014 four metalheads woke up with world-ending hangovers and a brand new band. We had a simple goal: Play loud,
party hard, decimate eardrums. In line with this we called ourselves the only thing that made sense: Down In One.
The line-up may have changed over the years but the game is still the same, we want to be a tidal wave of filthy riffs and unrelenting rhythm.
