The Cruel Sea Lyrics by BATS (IRL)

Red in Tooth & Claw

0

This ocean is different
With many predators
We traveled farther
Our hearts are heavy
Out here we're helpless for sure
Our mainsail is breathless and broken
Our needles to not point to magnetic north
These creatures survive at a time before the field was reversed
"We have struck rocks!"
Please, please
Please, please
Please, Plesiosaur, quick
Please save our souls
We are wrecked
Please help us to shore
Please, please
Don't let that beast called the Tylosaur
Eat us up
We've lost our minds
We are dead
Our carbon hearts
This breathing is different
With balanced gases
Our skies are heavy
Our hearts are ready
Tell me, my friend
Are you the serpent from our recent past?
Will you survive past the boundaries of death laid by KT?
Men swore they saw something like you
Before engines deafened ship lanes and trade routes
We're burning the bodies that float up from our distant past
Please, please
Please, please
Please, Plesiosaur, quick
Please save our souls
We are wrecked
Please help us to shore
Please, please
Don't let that beast called the Tylosaur
Eat us up
We've lost our minds
We are dead
Our carbon hearts, hearts, hearts
Hearts, hearts, hearts
Hearts, hearts, hearts
You unlocked it from far below
Hearts, hearts, hearts
Raised it and spewed it out
Open your calipers beast-molder (beast-molder)
Open your calipers beast-molder (beast-molder)
I admit I'm guilty too (beast-molder, beast-molder)
It would help if more believed you (beast-molder, beast-molder)
"We are drowning!"
"We are drowning!"
I have seen the changing gene
Endless forms of many beasts
Nature's red, like they said
In tooth and claw, dead instead
