Beautiful sad emotional song about a flooded cemetery

Lyrics
[Verse]
The river rose without a sound
To claim the holy, quiet ground.
It climbed the gates and filled the path
A slow and heavy, liquid wrath.
Now marble angels dip their wings
In every cold and dark thing.
The names are lost beneath the tide
With nowhere left for grief to hide.
[Chorus]
Deep water, heavy sleep
The promises we couldn't keep.
Low current, high tide
Nowhere for the grief to hide.
Deep water, heavy sleep
The promises we couldn't keep.
[Verse]
A plastic wreath begins to float
A tiny, faded, floral boat.
It drifts across the sunken years
Beyond the reach of salt and tears.
The willow trees are drinking deep
Where all the weary used to sleep.
The current pulls at every stone
To leave the heavy earth alone.
[Chorus]
Deep water, heavy sleep
The promises we couldn't keep.
Low current, high tide
Nowhere for the grief to hide.
Deep water, heavy sleep
The promises we couldn't keep.
[Bridge]
Maybe they are finally free
To travel out toward the sea.
Released from weight and settled dust
Beyond the rain and winter rust.
The surface holds a silver light
Against the coming of the night.
[Chorus]
Deep water, heavy sleep
The promises we couldn't keep.
Low current, high tide
Nowhere for the grief to hide.
Deep water, heavy sleep
The promises we couldn't keep.
[Outro]
Beneath the tide.
Let the river decide.
Nowhere to hide.
[Outro]
