THE PLACE THE WATERS KNOW — Alex Wonderland & Elias Mercer Acoustic Live Sessions | PARADOXA MUSIC

THE PLACE THE WATERS KNOW ALEX WONDERLAND × ELIAS MERCER | LIVE ACOUSTIC SESSIONS Beneath the surface, another world is waiting. A dark, surreal fairytale of forgotten names, drowned cathedrals and impossible places. A journey into the beautiful unknown, where wonder and unease become one. Reimagined as an intimate acoustic studio performance — one guitar, one voice, and the haunting beauty of the deep. Vocals: Alex Wonderland Acoustic Guitar: Elias Mercer Lyrics: Elias Mercer Music, Arrangement & Production: Alex Wonderland & Elias Mercer From Live Acoustic Sessions PARADOXA RECORDS Music beyond the obvious. LYRICS A silver fish with a human eye Watched the pale moon split in two. A crooked bell beneath the sand Rang for someone no one knew. The reeds were whispering backwards, The stones were warm as skin. And all the little doors below Were opening from within. One for the breath, Two for the bone. Three for the things That never came home. Down, down, down we go, Where the silver waters flow. Round and round the hollow tide, Something wakes on the other side. Oh, let the deep bells ring, Let the drowned cathedral sing. Down, down, down we go — To the place the rivers know. A porcelain king with a crown of shells Held court beneath a sunken stair. He offered me a thousand names, But none of them were mine to wear. A child of salt and candlelight Was sleeping in a bed of weeds. And every time the current turned, The water spoke in different keys. One for the breath, Two for the bone. Three for the heart That made the deep its home. Down, down, down we go, Where the silver waters flow. Round and round the hollow tide, Something wakes on the other side. Oh, let the deep bells ring, Let the drowned cathedral sing. Down, down, down we go — To the place the rivers know. There is a stair beneath the stair, A second sky beneath the sea. A thousand mouths without a voice Are singing something back to me. Open the water. Unfasten the sky. Give back the thunder You buried alive. ALIIIIIVE! Down, down, where the dark tides go, Past the bones of the world below. Round and round the hollow tide, A thousand eyes on the other side. Oh, let the deep bells ring, Hear the nameless waters sing. Down, down, down we go — To the place the rivers know. © 2026 PARADOXA RECORDS — Alex Wonderland & Elias Mercer. All rights reserved.
