iron seawolf - death from the deep lyrics

many years ago while sailing stormy seas
the waves they lashed against our sides, no control had we
hoisting the mainsail we tried to set course
but it was to no avail
over and over the bow was spun round
helplessly driving us into unknown seas

the sky grew blacker and blacker
the waves towered fifty feet tall
where we were headed to we did not know
into the storm

i’ve heard tell of a legend
in waters around these parts
all sailors beware
evil lurks in the depths below

death from the deep
a mighty beast beneath the waves
laying waste to any crew who dare to cross its path
death from the deep
no soul will make it through the night
heed my warning never to sail in those forbidden seas

lightning crashes around us
waves pummel the decks mercilessly
where we were headed to we did not know
into the storm

i see a shadow on the water
something giant lurks deep below
a great rumble shudders the ship
chilling the crew to the bones

ready the cannons, prepare for attack
panic breaks out all over the deck
all sailors prepare to fight for your lives
we now lie in wait, not knowing our fate

“below the thunders of the upper deep
far, far beneath in the abyssal sea
her ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
the kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
about her shadowy sides; above her swell
huge sponges of millennial growth and height
and far away into the sickly light
from many wondrous grot and secret cell
unnumber’d and enormous polypi
winnow with giant fins the slumbering green
there hath she lain for ages, and will lie
battening upon huge seaworms in her sleep
until the latter fire shall heat the deep
then once by man and angels to be seen
in roaring she shall rise and on the surface die”
alfred, lord tennyson – “the kraken”

a great tremor from under the water
an earth-shattering roar splits the air
as tentacles as long as sixteen men
ascend from the depths all around

the ghostly remains of our ship
are dragged by the beast down below
timbers shatter and masts are crushed
as we’re dragged to a watery grave

i gasp for breath as i surface from the depths
survived by a miracle, i had another chance
a plank of wood from the wreckage floats by
i hold on with all of my might
surveying the sea for other spared souls
nothing but stormy waters all around

no one else made it through
a hundred good men sent down to the depths
nothing remains but the black ocean
as i’m swept away into the darkness

and now alone i travel the world
telling my tale wherever i go
to chill the bones of all who hear
so they never dare venture to those forbidden seas
