Bathysphere

[00:18.03] I am the first
[00:23.54] To make so deep a dive
[00:29.61] I hear them crank the cable
[00:35.47] As I am welded inside
[00:42.02] All that I have is a candle
[00:47.84] All I can swallow is fear
[00:53.63] As I descend to the water
[00:59.48] To brave the bathysphere
[01:05.55] Steel will handle the pressure
[01:11.90] Steel my nerves or I'll break
[01:17.64] Beneath an ocean of terror
[01:23.70] Is this my last mistake?
[01:29.98] I am alone
[01:35.48] But dry, and safe, and sound
[01:41.79] Soon I'm sure I'll surface
[01:47.80] Yet somehow I keep going
[01:53.94] Down, down, down, down, down
[01:59.97] Down, down, down, down, down
[02:08.96] Water closes above me
[02:14.96] Now the sunlight is gone
[02:20.51] I'm not the only thing down here
[02:26.55] What horrors lie beyond?
[02:32.83] Shadows lurk past the window
[02:38.68] The hungry KRAKEN or worse?
[02:44.41] Is that the cable a-creaking?
[02:50.55] Is this the ocean's curse?
[02:56.88] I am alone
[03:02.43] But dry, and safe, and sound
[03:08.50] I know the cable can hold me
[03:14.85] Still somehow I keep going
[03:20.87] Down, down, down, down, down
[03:26.91] Down, down, down, down, down
[03:35.88] Dark
[03:38.18] The water is dark
[03:41.10] I am silent and I am still
[03:47.61] They said no creature on Earth could withstand this pressure
[03:51.80] But from what I can see from the viewport window
[03:54.73] As my candle flickers out
[03:58.99] They were wrong
[04:02.56] At last, I feel a tug
[04:08.92] Pulling me from hell
[04:14.43] I rise toward the surface
[04:20.55] And feel my hope swell
[04:26.51] The world is growing lighter
[04:32.51] My metal shell is sound
[04:38.34] I know the cable can hold me
[04:44.40] I know I'll reach the ground
[04:45.05]
