lyrics

Chapter 59: Squid

Matterhorn, now rising from the ocean --
Twisted form as roots into the deep.
As the mountains
Reach down and down
To the brimstone, the Kraken grasps the sea.

Nest of snakes, to blindly rip asunder
Hapless souls who chance into their reach.
Widen berth
From sin and sorrow --
Let The Whale drive him to the deep.

But beware (beware!),
As the weight descends
A whirlpool left behind.
So beware (beware!),
From the oceans fair,
Damnation grasping thee.

Though they say, the rising Whale as portent,
Bringing 'round the fateful end of days,
It's the Kraken
That rises with Him
In the fray, will shatter all the world.
