Giant Squid

Sevengill (Notorynchus Cepedianus)
Down here I wait with all my benthic friendsUnderneath the gate, listening to lives endThose with seven gills will investigate Each thunderous crash and corresponding shapeIn great detail, I described you to each of themIn case the bridge is how you choose to endI'd like to have some last words with you before You end up on the Farallone's rocky shoresWhere the real beasts await to have their wayWith all the failures washed out from the bayA hundred years have past since just last autumnPlease come to the bay, see who now lives on the bottomI'd like to have some last words with you before I forget how to walk upon these muddy shores And entirely cease to breathe like a manSeeing things with only the tips of my hands"My heart is crushed by the jaws of regretUpon knowing where you now make your bedThe depths at which I've chained you toI pray those shackles eventually rust through..."SongtexteHeld under by chiton-like liesAmongst the corpses, I'll never surfaceDebris bouncing off my hideCovered in detritus, I've lost purpose"What comfort lies in years of hating me?Haven't you in some way found a rare peace?Please realize, your very soul's at stake You're still a man, and I was just a tool of fate."Your bite marks riddled my soulIt got damn cold with all those holesSo I left it on shore for all the gulls(Take it)There wasn't much left(Take it)But it's all yoursTake it Aus Songtexte Mania
