The sun bleeds, the sea grimace The waves grieve, the ship simmers The candle watches, as my eyes flicker The boat rocks, the ice shivers Black spot on my chest, it's an omen Crabs rotting in a bucket in the open Waves crash, wonder what is the commotion Broken bones gently floating in the ocean Tentacles lash, I race up the steps The Kraken has come and I'm paying my debt Shaking the deck like I'm playing with death The albatross heavy, it's straining my neck Holes in the bow, port, starboard, and stern Candles topple in cabin, they burn Water rush as the fire rise Head to the plank for my demise Cannon blow, tragic where the Kraken goes Madness when her shackles broke Trapped up in a paddle boat, Stand up in a battle pose Think she trying to snatch my soul There's no chance to patch the holes Mast collapse and snapped the rope Ship walls start to groan and twist Kraken size of Moby Dick Orchestrate a Jonah's lift Throw our bodies over ship Floating over open rifts Tread seas with my broken limbs Orchestrate a Jonah's lift Throw our bodies over ship Jonah's lift Tiger killed the crew, I had to fight to escape He came for my throat but lost his life to a blade Sliced at his eyes, on my face left a scrape Look into the water, I see stripes on my face Treading water but the man is far from Jesus Try to stay afloat while my boat is strewn in pieces I search beneath my feet but I can't seem to fucking see her Amongst the clouds of red, I see something way down deeper It grabs my legs and I kick and I splutter Look to the sky and it's filling with thunder I rage and I struggle, I grab debris Stab at her body, we start to bleed Three souls bound, she's dragging me under She's taking us down, there's no way to recover I still remain strapped to my skeletal tether Birds of a feather go down together Cannon blow, tragic where the Kraken goes Madness when her shackles broke Trapped up in a paddle boat, Stand up in a battle pose Think she trying to snatch my soul There's no chance to patch the holes Mast collapse and snapped the rope Ship walls start to groan and twist Kraken size of Moby Dick Orchestrate a Jonah's lift Throw our bodies over ship Floating over open rifts Tread seas with my broken limbs Orchestrate a Jonah's lift Throw our bodies over ship Jonah's lift
