20,000 Octaves Under The C Songtext
von Chilled Monkey Brains

Sit a spell sailors, and I′ll spin you a tale
Of a steadfast ship, and the beast we tailed
This ain't another story bout′ an
Old white whale, boys
The fish we fought was the size of a full rigged sail
"We've heard it all before old salt!"
This one's been locked up in my vault
"Next round says it′s old news to me."
Then tip em′ back and I'll tell you bout the day that we

Beheld his majesty
This fearsome entity
A visage human eyes glimpse
Just beyond insanity
My crew, brave as they be
That day, would take the knee
The first to see
The latent power resting deep inside of me


10 years alone, lost out at sea
A tentative catastrophe
10 tentacles intent on me
With murderous tenacity
"You′d never make it back to shore!"
Furl those sails my lads, there's more
"But how could anyone survive?"
Who ever said I was alive

Recall its majesty
The vast and endless sea
The battleground on which the
Kraken′s immobility
Met unstoppability
Lost to eternity
Alone at sea
A hidden power gestated inside of me

The captain, brave and bold
Alone, the foul beast feared
The legends had foretold
The end was drawing near
We'd come to pay the debt he owed
No cargo had been stowed
All hands on deck!
Cannon Balls!


Beware this travesty
The tyrant of the sea
The transmutation was complete
As it lay in defeat
"Accursed" to roam, it seems
As a ghastly entity
A modest fee
For endless power raging deep inside of me
