Drown
Cauldron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It wasn't right
Before the storm
Nothing was calm
There was no form
Scattered and strewn
Among the wild
Knowing no better
Like a child

Reckless you waste another day
Coasting backwards all the way
Whatever words
You tried to say
Will never matter
It's too late

Drift away together
Gone astray forever
One last struggle
As we drown
Slowly sink together
No return forever
Resting peaceful
As we drown

You must have fallen such a shame
Was it intention or mistake
We'll never know
Now that you're gone
It seems that everything's gone wrong

Floating you drift
Upon the shore
Bloated and pale
You look so worn
Now that your conscience is no more
It's almost like you
Were never born

Drift away together
Gone astray forever
One last struggle
As we drown
Slowly sink together
No return forever
Resting peaceful
As we drown

I can see you after me
What's your reason
Why'd you leave
After all that
We've been through
Still nobody knows the truth
Now so many wonder why
Why'd you go and
Where's your cry
As I lean towards the ground
I can feel you pulling down

Hard to conclude
But some will try
When you obscure
The reason why
Unanswered questions
Always there
But is it really
Worth the fare

Drift away together
Gone astray forever
One last struggle
As we drown
Slowly sink together
No return forever




Resting peaceful
As we drown

As I lean towards the ground
Bending over or falling down towards the earth


I can feel you pulling down
Sensing the weight of the situation and its negative effects

But some will try
Despite the challenge, some will attempt to figure it out


When you obscure
When the facts or details are unclear and hard to discern


The reason why

Unanswered questions
Issues or problems that remain unresolved


Always there
Present and never going away


But is it really
However, is it actually


Worth the fare
Is it worth the price or cost of discovering the truth

Me pregunto si será posible ver juntos en un mismo cartel a CAULDRON, ENFORCER Y SKULL FIST aquí en México....Creo qué las 3 bandas son las mejores que tenemos en la actualidad dentro del HEAVY METAL......Que PRIEST, MAIDEN,ACCEPT y MANOWAR no nos van a durar para siempre. El relevo generacional es inevitable ..Ojala ellos...NO ,Ellos tienen que ser los próximos GRANDES en el HEAVY METAL.

Daniel Luna

Esperemos que vengan los 3 juntos estaría poca madre 🤟💀

Pepe Emeritus

Pablo Mangiagli

Yo opino lo mismo, excelente idea, yo le sumo a SKELATOR, ROCKA ROLLA Y BLAZON STONE a las nuevas leyendas.

Hi, where did you find the inverted pentagram emoji?

I found out about Cauldron a few years ago, and I find their music to be very real, pure, authentic and with some serious attitude. They really have a quite unique sound to them. 

Wishing these guys much success! Truly one of my favorite bands. Love the video, the new album and all their previous efforts. \m/ \m/

Sin duda la mejor banda de Heavy Metal de estos últimos tiempos, Se requiere gira latinoamericana junto a Enforcer y Axxion lo mas pronto posible.
