I think that someone is trying to kill me
Infecting my blood and destroying my mind No man of the flesh could ever stop me The fight for this fish is a fight to the death White whale - holy grail What remorseless emperor commands me I no longer govern my soul I am completely immersed in darkness As I turn my body away from the sun White whale - holy grail Split your lungs with blood and thunder When you see the white whale Break your backs and crack your oars men If you wish to prevail This ivory leg is what propels me Harpoons thrust in the sky Aim directly for his crooked brow And look him straight in the eye White whale - holy grail 02. I Am Ahab
There's magic in the water that attracts all men
Across hills and down streams The turning of the tide Outlook Future bright Selfish Beauty shines Light cloud rain drive on 13 years to this day red planet aligned Into sight 60,000 years of light Fascination with a mountain put to sea Built to slay and conquer All with teeth of beasts 03. Seabeast
If I stand around and watch them drown in a pool of gray
When we dive in I can surely say there's feud with force Am I in your way? Please knock me down. Can I help you in? When I'm not around let us all be found in certain ways Dear Mr. Queequeg you have been informed your life's been saved You are not a black-hearted vicious mess so it has been claimed If this is the beast pulling us towards the east with mighty waves Let us look inside and pull out all your pride you know it's up to us Holding pasts in ash black earth Bound by roots Roots into sand Grow towards the giver There's an open wound placed upon my heart in anger's rage If we open up a spirit, a spirit that can bleed Ahab the leading lad we can trust his obsession carries them Meet us at the temple healing all the crippled Don't forget the maimed Lower soul sent with gifts offering Teeth of hope travel with Child laid next to mother 04. Island
Given decision to live
Not taken The flight towards the light I'll stay in the lava for life Erupting when gods take us all Changing the peaks makes us pour From the mountain and burn The path of our time Hail people of Iceland Journey of a land anew Ram as our liaison Vision inspire and move Awe holy island Breed the lagoon to run free Raw beauty is ruthless within the golden ring Precision of Grungir Spear of the Norse God Odin Praise our Pagan Father Founder of the Althing Given decision to live Not taken The flight towards the light I'll stay in the lava for life Erupting when gods take us all Changing the peaks makes us pour From the mountain and burn The path of our time Ruler of sky's thunder The honourable warrior All divination Beward the Hammer of Thor Lava goddess Ice and fire Settling down Ocean Geysir Gullfoss Heimaey '73 05. Iron Tusk
Straight line
Feel it burst liver and lung Long and strong 'Til she spills her black blood Center down Vast the head body and tail Shatter life Physeter catodon Culture vulture Elephant graveyard Culture vulture Engage monster Wreaking vengeance Assault with all martial rage Sail on 06. Megalodon
Myth or legend
Nymph tale washed ashore Near the kraken sleepeth stirs coral and bone Infinite city No sexy sneer Hideous creation Human and animal Banter songs of rudeness to be adhered Not on rocks that glisten Harps to listen Comb hair Tear right to pieces Left to recess a watery grave Sensing the blood of prey Swimming in fear for life Rolling over Falling into jaws Teeth that chatter It distracts them all The Fiji mermaid She will let it know Time is coming to feed and knaw 07. Naked Burn
Angels dancing with a mortal a sin
A giant born within a woman's womb Nephilim walking through the forest breaking limbs As we bow and give respect to the gods Save yourself Don't wait on me My feet are sewn Endless bottom The church is burning from the inside out Altars falling into ashes again An eagle fly upon horizons with sight Focusing on all our family and friends Apologize Can we rise above it Climb the line It's a good endeavor The ships arrived Let's sail into the weather Our crying eyes Save yourself Don't wait on me My feet are sewn Endless bottom 08. Aqua Dementia
An invitation to clairvoyance
It's hard to stand around and watch while they ignore us She is dumped on Used as an ashtray At the expense of an organized association I see the stones in the path we laid It's a question of tomorrow We like to breathe the ancient wind that we have followed A perfect fire to burn the land Before they knew it The sun had falledn Boiling the water where the hydra's crawling The righteous go in blazing fury And we cleanse the earth to bring it down Bring it down And God will watch it burn Releasing souls Within the wrath we wait To be dirt again There is a flame I lit I upon high 09. Hearts Alive
Taken down with hearts alive
Our hearts alive Lurking dark underground Descend to the bottom Swim below eternally Into the deep blue sea Time and space All alone It can be a lonely place There it goes Opening up I can't stand I can't breathe Rolled fin out Oil stripped Hold is filled Ocean coil Water boils He swims to the surface Flame from mouth Smoke he breathes Enter the caverns of the deep Time and space All alone It can be a lonely place There it goes Opening up I can't stand I can't breathe Terrified Ghastly cry Spiraled lives Taken down Taken down The iron side Bucket of lead Battle is she Not for defeat The iron side Bucket of lead Battle is she 10. Joseph Merrick
