Aviators - When Our Bodies Wash Ashore Lyrics






Are you waking up afraid
Are you brave enough to glance behind the curtain
To use the eyes inside
Have you felt them in your sleep
Have you seen them in a vision that's uncertain
A dream outside your mind

Once come upon in an ancient land
I've heard the tales of an unseen hand
Myths of the otherside that took my breath away
Out in the deep I've seen something real
The mouth of the void that the waves conceal
Speaking low, as my thoughts draw near the fray

When the currents carry on
Lifeless waves we float along
There's a solemn depth below
Deeper truth I cannot know
Our own hastened time has come
In this death our minds are young
When our bodies wash ashore
Sorrow's children nevermore

Are you scared to look behind
Do you feel the breath of sunken apparitions
Awake, impure, divine
Now I'm sure they're coming soon
In the blackness my unholy friend has spoken
Through a shiver in my spine

My own senses wash away
I've let go of my eyes
Grant me life beyond the veil
For this humble sacrifice
You're the next to float along
As we all grow insane
Let the dream pull you below
No more watchers will remain

So bring me close to you
I want to be consumed
I'm transcending yet alive
Grant me vision deep inside
Transformed and unafraid
This earthly vessel fades

    This man deserves more subscribers...

  2. S.... J....

    I’m usually to busy having the crap scared out of me by the foghorn, but I just noticed that right after he says: “I want to be consumed.”, he emphasizes the exhale and adds just a little bit of shakiness to it, and it makes that whole section have just that little touch of rapturousness. Everything about this song is just nailed.

  3. I.... ....

    I remember watching the premier stream for A Song That Never Ends, and everyone kept joking that "Floating" was about the ocean being full of floating corpses. Avi laughed about it. When I watched the premier stream and heard this song, I couldn't help but imagine he was inspired by the dark jokes about "Floating."

  4. C.... V....

    When you walk along a beach, if you should ever be so fortunate to see the White Ship, board it. It shall take you to a paradise. However, take care that you don't begin to crave the land unknown, that land where only the Divine may see and tread. Lest it be your body washing back ashore, never again to tread in paradise.

  5. E.... H....

    This belongs in death stranding... Or as it's known "Norman Reedus and his funky fetus"..

  6. B.... D....

    If Edgar Allen Poe made music, this is exactly what it would sound like

  7. D.... B....

    This is a masterpiece. It’s gripping and it just hits absolutely hits you like playing bloodborne does. You guys are amazing.

  8. J.... B....

    Am I seeing shit or is the water moving?

  9. N.... H....

    I know this about bloodborne but this could work for death stranding

    N.... H....

    Just about done with DS and i keep finding very few similaritys to Bloodborne. I'll share but im not a fan for spoiling anything.

  10. D.... R....

    Looks like a destiny scene to me.

  11. B.... T....

    I had a dream about a crimson red being that had two wings it could not fly but it could move but I knew I shouldn’t stare I shouldn’t wonder but I couldn’t help my self what I saw was beautiful and frightening I gave it a name but I don’t remember the name

  12. B.... ....

    NIGHTMARE SLAIN

  13. B.... B....

    “A Hunter Doesn’t Fight Because He Hates What’s In His Way, He Fights Because Loves What He’s Left Behind.”

    B.... B....

    Blood Borne
    A hunter fights for not love, fear, or hate. A hunter fights for the next drink of blood.

  14. D.... ....

    Love it!

  15. N.... ....

    Does anyone know any other songs like this? Thanks

  16. C.... S....

    As someone who finally has the chance to play this masterpiece, and having just beaten Rom...Yahar'gul has got me messed up, man xD

  17. R.... C....

    I can't wait until you guys start making Code Vein songs.

  18. J.... M....

    If only there were a song for Sotha Sil with a feel similar to this one. He's an... absurdly complex, intelligent, and surprisingly loving, character in a couple of games in the Elder Scrolls series.
    Or, fuck, the Dark Brotherhood. Definitely them. Gods, fuck, yes, the Dark Brotherhood. Only one decent fan song for them. Shit, they are scary badass. A Family of psychopaths that are oddly warm and endearing. And with such interesting lore that I always ate up any books or information I could find on them in-game.

  19. A.... I....

    You Do Not Recognize The Bodies in The Water

  20. H.... S....

    0:37 This part of the song sounds so familiar. I swear I used to listen to a song that had a bit just like it years ago. Anyone know of anything similar?

  21. Z.... ....

    "Lifeless *WEEBS* we float along" 5:00

    Z.... ....

    Bloody h'e'll.
    I read this comment right as he sang it and you made me crack up for a while.

  22. A.... 1....

    Ocean man, take me by the hand, lead me to the dream outside my mind you understand.

  23. C.... M....

    watching stranger things where the body turns up in the waters ofnthe quary
    as my life gets turned up side down
    imagine if paper was black with white text.... idk y just try it..

  24. C.... S....

    The mother is dead, her children taken

  25. L.... ....

    wait fuck the waters moving thats so trippy :u

  26. N.... ....

    Reminds me of Path of Exile

  27. D.... D....

    I feel like this song could work as a theme for an old ones warlock

  28. C.... G....

    I have been listening to this since the day it was released. Never noticed the water moved.

  29. P.... P....

    I think your music for fallen angels . And i m finding myself inside this music 💖

  30. L.... B....

    I’ll be honest, I don’t know what Bloodborne is but these songs are awesome!

    L.... B....

    You should play it

  31. G.... ....

    I think this is probably the song I listen to most, bar Monumental. The style and lyrics all have a soothing and give a peaceful feeling, with an underlying malice that is just perfect. Praise the good blood!

  32. D.... C....

    This makes me think of a tumblr post I once saw: “If you find bones in the forest, sit a bit and listen. They are old and have some good stories to tell. Maybe they’ll teach you a spell or two, or teach you where all the water on the planet came from.

    If you find bones by the ocean, run. Don’t look back. Run, faster, faster. The sea may love you, but there are nights where she knows no mercy nor science, and the bones warn you only once.”

    D.... C....

    @Bethany Davis You're welcome. I have since found the source of the initial quote as well, so here's that too.

    Also, shout out to my favorite Normal Horoscopes post since i mentioned them earlier.

    Dylan Chester
    Fear those endless depth, they hold truths that are best left unknown.

    D.... C....

    Or they will tell you a story of an unprepared soul ventured into the elements.. dying, cold, alone, or perhaps.. the victim of another...

    D.... C....

    hell if i found bones in a forest i would think of three thing sky burial, suicide, or murder

  33. A.... S....

    Fjord vibes from Critical role anyone?

  34. k.... m....

    I play a lot of fps and lessin to this and realisicly im murdering children but i have too

  35. J.... S....

    Is "sorrow's children nevermore" a reference to "quoth the Raven, nevermore"?

  36. V.... ....

    Masterpiece

  37. C.... C....

    i want to get in touch with avi so i can just ask him why he takes up 40-50% of my 100 song playlist

  38. W.... S....

    The quote at the end adds to it all. Beautiful, Aviators

  39. A.... D....

    It's so haunting but so beautiful! It's almost peaceful enough to lull me to sleep. . . .

  40. t.... d....

    The closest thing I can compare it to from my knowledge of music is agent fresco! This is incredibly individual and unique! A musical gift for real👌

  41. S.... ....

    I like the little stranger things reference

  42. M.... ....

    I love this song on a religious level.

  43. J.... B....

    I love the stormy sea sounds at the beginning. Gotta find a good quality recording somewhere to play while listening to this

  44. N.... ....

    Listened to this like 50 times, just barely realized the water is moving

    N.... ....

    Oh, shit! I would never have noticed if not for you! =O

  45. M.... S....

    Jesus this is really f’ing long.

  46. M.... G....

    (╮°-°)╮ its so long *-*

  47. l.... k....

    I'm a simple man I see the word lovecraftian I click.

  48. M.... S....

    Oh sweet child of kos returned to the sea once more, a bottomless curse a bottomless sea accepting of all that was and will be

  49. P.... T....

    Interesting.... Iv been subscribed to you for many years now, and I'v heard most of your songs, and have been notified of all. But this one somehow slipped under the radar. Really good song.

  50. E.... ....

    So soothing. Just put you in a zone

  51. S.... D....

    I'd have to say this is one of your best (and longest songs) i've heard so far. My favorites on your channel so far are Lowborn, Here Come The Ravens, and pretty much all your SoulsBorne songs lol. Lowborn reiminds me of a game called Bastion, and i would really appreciate a song on that. keep up the outstanding work my dude

  52. D.... R....

    At some point of the song, I feel like there's bells ringing in my head

  53. G.... F....

    Hey mate, just wanna say thanks for all the songs you do, especially this one in particular. My grandpa passed about the same I came across this song. Helped me come to terms with things. So thanks for a lovely dark, mournful tune.

  54. K.... R....

    wow this is great

  55. S.... W....

    >When you realize the moonlight is brighter on the water than on itself

    S.... W....

    We are just reflections of reality

    S.... W....

    I love the philosophy that all of you thought of, but the moon's reflection actually does this in water in real life when its not too super cloudy. The reflection of the moon's light doesn't consider the small amount clouds in the way.

    S.... W....

    @TheSweeny99 define reality? Do we reflect ourself? Is there a more real reality?

    S.... W....

    The top is the souls of the fishing people departing to the Dreamlands, and the bottom is a glimpse of "reality"; they are simply walking into the sea.

    Or maybe it's the other way around. But you can't see the cloud of bones in the reflection.

    S.... W....

    @Xander Shullaw i think you're right the first time, cause in game by the time you got to the village with the orphan. I would assume you the player would have gone through the nightmare several times and even seen the great one itself. So it would make sense to be able to see the true horror more clearly then to see the half true horror that the average person would see. That's why I believe the "reflection" and "reality" have swapped positions in the picture

  56. H.... W....

    was the water moving for anyone else? because it was for me

  57. W.... ....

    What's that smell? The blood oh how it sings to me,
    It's enough to make a man sick

  58. C.... ....

    I'm sorry, I haven't watched the video yet but I read the title on the thumbnail in the tune of "when the bodies hit the floor" so it was like.

    "When our bodies wash ashore, when our bodies wash ashore when our bodies wash ashore when our bodies wash a....SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRE" and for some reason it just made me laugh so hard. In all seriousness though, after watching it now, the song is great. I love it

  59. L.... B....

    This is beautiful! We'll done!

  60. J.... K....

    Is this a household name? Are they signed? Ive never heard them before but I'm also too old to know of new music. Anyway, i subbed with push notifications.

  61. S.... Y....

    One of the best Aviators songs I've ever heard.

  62. F.... ....

    "sorrow's children nevermore" sounds so cool

    F.... ....

    Fruchteis,😂 dachte hier wären nur americaner

  63. D.... ....

    been a long time since your beginnings in pony music and i am still listening.

  64. B.... S....

    Very Pink Floydian...Love it

  65. O.... D....

    Ahhh to be granted ears to hear a beautiful Eldritch Truth such as this...

  66. R.... R....

    aviators 🃏☀💪💪💪

  67. d.... t....

    Even it is interesting a lyrics I couldn't find a word

    d.... t....

    I met not a lyrics stupid auto correct

  68. d.... t....

    I keep repeating the start of the lyrics

  69. T.... ....

    Beautiful song and beautiful background to go with it.

  70. N.... S....

    Great song, No One Will Save You Now was one of my favorite songs, to see a very similar but very different song is really cool! The SoulsBorne games are some of my favorites, keep making great songs!

  71. I.... 7....

    Kos... fallen to moon-sented hunter (which is the player) and so has Rom

  72. L.... P....

    Around 2:40 he says something about riding lifeless waves and honestly I heard lifeless queefs we float along

  73. V.... A....

    I'm Crazy with your music guys! Keep on this fantastic way!

  74. V.... R....

    When her body washed ashore, her child was born. Fearful and cold without his mothers embrace. Staring at the sky, not knowing her killers face. Only when he heard the haunting sound , a hollow step a step he had heard in the darkness did he know what he found. The source of his sorrow, the source of knowing he may not have tomorrow. Oh Orphan of Kos...do not for one second give pause. For if you do the darkness will swallow you again...and this time there won't be an end.

  75. f.... ....

    Is it wrong that the world of bloodbourne is my happy place and i love anything that takes me back there, like this song.

  76. T.... ....

    When our bodies wash ashore, sorrow's children nevermore...

  77. Z.... M....

    Pardon my French, but this is fucking beautiful, it is ART in every sense of the word! You go Aviators, you go!

  78. J.... C....

    The Old hunters was the best dlc the soulsborne games ever made. Did they ever fully explain what the whole story behind it was? I just figured it was an amalgamation of all the things Gehrmain had done in his life. Hunting Kos, slaying his bloodmad allies and their monstrous forms, realizing what his proud hunters were becoming

  79. S.... S....

    I absolutely love that you are still making Bloodborne songs years after it's been released! It really just speaks volumes to how good the game is. Same with Demon's Souls. Really just all the Souls.

  80. R.... ....

    I don't know why, but this part 0:35 - 0:58 remind me a lot of the beginning of "Iced earth - Dracula"

  81. F.... ....

    More! More! More!👏👏 I cant wait! Do it! Do it! Do it!👏👏 See you superstar⭐👈😉
    Bye! Bye! Bye!

  82. F.... ....

    I love this it realy makes the deep sea feel mysterious and terrifing

    F.... ....

    Frosty but it is mysterious and terrifying ;-;

    F.... ....

    Liam Cahill exactly this song just highlights that even more

    F.... ....

    Frosty Ikr, its amazing! This song sets my thalassophobia on edge yet I keep coming back to it. Mixed with my fascination with Lovecraft its just soooo good, I hope he does more like this.

  83. V.... ....

    Gotta say, I really love your Bloodborne works.

  84. K.... s....

    Holy crap this is awesome

  85. K.... s....

    Omg this is one of my favorites now.

    Your the best as always aviators

  86. F.... N....

    This video is impressive, Good song Avitors <3

    F.... N....

    Encha good comment, love it!

  87. B.... 5....

    I don't know if this is your style since I am new but you should so do some Q&A for your songs and the process of making them cause I think that would be like a cool side project while your making other songs, but that's just my opinion anyway.

    B.... 5....

    He does weekly livestreams every thursday and saturday at 7PM US Eastern on twitch where he interacts with fans, answers questions every now and then and sometimes works on music. https://www.twitch.tv/aviatorslivestream

  88. C.... C....

    Ive listened to this so many times by now, and it’s just.... so gorgeous.
    Like
    Seriously
    W O W

    The chills down my back, the dread in my brain, the soft voice that contrasts, or maybe companions, the otherworldly atmosphere of everything in this song, it’s an absolutely marvel to experience. Loving your work as always, Aviators! 👍

  89. F.... L....

    Yeeeeah More nice song made :D

  90. R.... D....

  95. l.... s....

    Just searching for music one day and happen to run into this magnificent peace of work.
    Then I listen to some of their other songs and I realize that its not this song that is magnificent it is the band.

    l.... s....

    Right? You should listen to their Dystopian Fiction album if you liked this

    l.... s....

    lord sword not a band though, Avi is one man :)

  96. R.... T....

    Amazing song 😃

  97. S.... S....

    This song is so great, its a shame that there aren't many people listening to it. But to me its one of the best i've ever listened to, keep up the good work !!!!

  98. A.... G....

    Byrgenwerth... Byrgenwerth... Blasphemous murderers... Blood-crazed fiends... Atonement for the wretches... By the wrath of Mother Kos...Mercy for the poor, wizened child... Mercy, oh please... Lay the curse of blood upon them, and their children, and their children's children, for evermore. Each wretched birth will plunge each child into a lifetime of misery. Mercy, for the poor, wizened child...Let the pungence of Kos cling, like a mother's devotion...

    A.... G....

    "A Curse here... A Curse there... A Curse for he, and she, why care? A bottomless curse... A bottomless sea... Source of all greatness, all things that be... Listen for the Baneful Chants, weep with them as if one in trance... And weep for us... oh... weep with us... Listen to the Baneful Chants... A call to the Bloodless, wherever they be... A call to the Bloodless, wherever they be... Fix your ears, to hear our call..."

    A.... G....

    A bottomless curse...
    A bottomless sea...
    Acceptance of all that there is...
    And can be......

  99. P.... H....

    Amazing!! I just started playing Bloodborne again on a completely new character and I forgot how goddamn investing the game is! The lore and the endings are fucking amazing, especially when you rediscover awesome weapons and items all over again.
