​[Intro]
[Low oscillating Merkaba frequency drone]
[Steady rhythmic industrial thumping like a heartbeat]
[Distorted resonator guitar slide echoes]
​[Verse 1]
Cold mist rising off the morning lake
How much more of this tension can I take? (Can I take?)
Suspended in the silence of the dawn
Waiting for the veil to be withdrawn
I feel the tug, I feel the steady hand
Of a power I will never understand. (Never understand...)
​[Chorus]
[Heavy sub-bass drop]
I'm just bait... on a hook, for gaaaaawd
Dangling over the deep and the odd (So deep, so odd)
Shimmering skin in the pale sunlight
Leading the way through the heart of the night
Yeah, I’m just bait... on a hook, for gaaaaawd. (For God...)
​[Verse 2]
[Rhythm intensifies with digital glitches]
The shadows down below are waking up
Drinking from a bitter, heavy cup (Bitter cup)
Something’s hungry, something’s circling near
I can taste the salt and the ancient fear
I’m the flash of light, I’m the shiny thing
Waiting for the strike and the line to sing. (Hear it sing...)
​[Chorus]
I'm just bait... on a hook, for gaaaaawd
Dangling over the deep and the odd (The deep and the odd)
Shimmering skin in the pale sunlight
Leading the way through the heart of the night
Yeah, I’m just bait... on a hook, for gaaaaawd.
​[Bridge]
[Build Intensity: Distorted electronic pulses merge with Merkaba tones]
It’s a lonely life on a monofilament string
Watching the ripples and the circles swing (The circles swing)
But I trust the grip and I trust the throw
Even when the water's ten miles low
He knows the depth and He knows the weight
And He knows the heart of His little bait. (His little bait...)
​[Guitar Solo]
[Soulful, heavily distorted blues slide guitar solo]
[Undercurrent of high-pitched singing bowl resonance]
​[Chorus]
[Full Band Energy: Aggressive industrial stomp]
I'm just bait... on a hook, for gaaaaawd
Dangling over the deep and the odd (Over the deep...)
Shimmering skin in the pale sunlight
Leading the way through the heart of the night
Yeah, I’m just bait... on a hook, for gaaaaawd.
​[Outro]
[Beat slows down, falling out of sync]
On a hook for God... (On a hook...)
Just keep on trolling...
Into the deep... (The deep...)
Into the dark...
For gaaaaawd.
[Merkaba drone intensifies then abruptly cuts]
​[End]
