“Drowning” is featured as the hidden song in the zombies map “Voyage of Despair” in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. The map is set on the RMS Titanic, which is famously known for sinking after a collision with an iceberg.
[Intro]
Falling slowly, drifting coldly
When will the night end?
So little time's gone by
Lightly drifting down below
Snowing and foaming falls
Falling in form into the midnight deep horizon
Beyond the shore where we all go
[Verse 1]
Shaking, all that's gone involuntarily awry (Warily belies)
Intensity of pain incensed in me
A cold flame, a fire, my one way out
Waking inside of a dreamscape
That shows me the end of my life
A flash before my eyes restore
The more painful way that we go
[Pre-Chorus]
And I drift down a little farther down
Into the great unknown
And holding back from breathing in
From letting go and giving in, I'm
[Chorus]
Drowning in silence, breathing in violence
Dying alone, I know you never knew me
I'm sinking all the way down
In darker, deeper, colder water
Drowning and silent, bleeding in violet
Dying alone can't even kill this feeling
I'm going all the way under
I'm darker, deeper down and drowning
[Verse 2]
Distance and all that comes with it
Invariably arrive (Variably alive)
Invent a truth to say you sense in me
A new way, a why, away without
Convince me I'm not in a nightmare
I've just see the end with my mind's eye
I clearly see what looks like me
But without from within like before
[Pre-Chorus]
And I drift down, a little further down
Into the great unknown, I'm drowning
Holding back the will to breathe
And willing my heart not to beat, I'm
[Chorus]
Drowning in silence, gasping and violent
Crying and cold, I know you never knew me
I'm thinking all the way down
In darker, deeper, freezing water
Drowning and silent, make me inviolate
Dying alone won't even give this meaning
I'm going all the way under
Understand I'm dark, deep down
And down too deep for you to see
[Bridge]
I've fallen further and they don't know
How much further I can go
I don't know why they watch me falling further
Knowing nothing, nothing further down
[Chorus]
Drown me in silence, damaged and eyeless
Rigid and cold, I know you never knew me
I hear a far away sound
That's softer, stranger fainter when we're
Drowning and silent, feigning inviolate
Trying to swim against our destination
We're going all the way under
Understand we're dark, deep down
And down too deep for you to see
We've fallen down, and now we're drowning deeper down
[Outro]
It's colder even now
