Sharks

[Intro]
Fifty days, all of the water's gone
No respite from under the cold white Sun
Indifference, parched gums and swollen limbs
Nothing moves but the fins of the sharks that swim so endlessly -
Dark shadows that roam the deep
Stalk our wake and haunt our sleep, so ghastly white...

[Instrumental Break (1:44 - 3:36)]

[Verse 1]
So quiet, accepting - their gentlemen's breeding shows well
They circle their servants like sharks...
As one man, united, they drew lots and decided
It's my turn to give up my life
For kingdom, for country, for their polite society...

[Verse 2]
We ventured to find the hollow Earth
But all that we found were the hollows in our souls
Screaming for subsistence, gnawing, devouring...
To give my life to give them their lives?
Such preposterous hypocrisy I cannot abide
Oh, no, I will not go quietly...

[Outro]
Fool them before they can see you're no nominee
Make them think it's a jinx and make them agree
Make them fear, make them dread, and get them to wait just an hour, a minute, a second...
Blind them before they can see, before they can flee
Tie their hands, tie their feet, their power's a deceit
Teach them class, blood and breed's no acquittal or grounds
For deeds abhorrent to enlightened man!
