Lyrics
I. Mantle Ghosts Beneath the sunken deeps Frigid waters tip the plates A claw of magma sweeps Rends the crust to giant slates Convection slowly creeps Sends new mountains through the gates An ancient psyche seeps Mends helices towards new fates Nothing stays entombed forever A dying gravestone weeps Blends the waters, carves, awaits Sows the lakes the ice had severed The tomb no longer sleeps Fed by fire it stirs, creates Buried worlds shall rise up, rise up Buried worlds shall rise up high Thaw and rise up, rise up, rise up Thaw and rise up, rise up high Where Skaði's shadow falls Life grinds to an icy halt Where Vulcan's boiling crawls Oceans burn and heave and fault But where they meet and kiss and jostle A chthonic tendril sprawls Cathedrals rise of pure basalt Mantle ghosts, tectonic fossils A hellish glow illuminates the glacial vault More than rock shall rise up, rise up More than rock shall rise up high Race to rise up, rise up, rise up Race to rise up, rise up high [Solo - Danny Tunker] II. The Building of R'lyeh Virgin channels draw in, breathe out Gnawing through the cryosphere Stygian mollusks swarm and reach out Life explodes the hydrosphere Bioluminescent cities light up Underneath a frozen sky Sing and light the austral night up Rise to scrape the ice up high Eldritch valleys rise up Eldritch valleys rebound And rise up, rise up high Nautilus delves, clad in crystal Sepia and urchin breed Teuthis' hunger grows, abyssal Octopods on dendrites feed Bioluminescent cities light up Underneath a frozen sky Sing and light the austral night up Rise to break the ice up high And something wakes in the deep... [Solo - Christian Muenzner] III. Pangea Proxima Landmasses coalesce Long gone the holocene extinction As hypercanes ravage and bless The coastal swamps with biomass The benthos' grand egress Towards terrestrial distinction A postdiluvian octopia Invertebrate cornucopia Arachnoid bodies rise Infest their telluric new utopia IV. Metamorphogenesis As lichens rise to giant woods Octopus take to the trees As overlords of lands and seas Symbionts inside their hoods Nine brains fire, reboot their neurons Spectral eyes and thinking skin Revel in new-found endurance Cogitate and join their kin An empire shall rise up, rise up Shape-shifting hives that never die Masters of the new earth rise up From abyss to open sky Kraken and Leviathan Evolve to polypotency Molecular their mimicry Bulging tools from myosin Tardigrades conjoin the membranes Polypoid biotechnology Medusoid immortality The dermis cast in chloroplasts Ancient, sapient, scintillating cephalopods, cephalopods Transdifferentiating cephalopods, cephalopods From bleeding crust to canopy From crudest ooze to the sublime Invisibly, unseizably Unstoppably the masters climb Where instinct ends Where schemes emerge Where hunger goes The masters surge [Solo - Christian Muenzner] Ancient, sapient, scintillating cephalopods, cephalopods Transdifferentiating cephalopods, cephalopods Like a tide they rise up, rise up Like a tide they rise up high On piles of bones they rise up, rise up On piles of bones they rise up high On primate fossils they rise up On our remains they rise up high With a vengeance they rise up With a vengeance rise up high [Solo - Danny Tunker] V. Octragon Tentacles spread Cilia flare The octopus take to the air As overlords of earth and sky The elders glide The young ones fly As polyp seeds They pair and tear As fleshy leaves They soar up high Find burning needs In starry skies Where novae glare And planets die This world won't last forever In time, the only way is up Illuminating silent winds The coleoidea dream of nebulae Billowing iridescence Brings a thousand maws with fangs Staring lanterns light the night Fleshy domes float to the sky Leathery bells chime in the dark The dragons of their aeon The dragons of their aeon VI. Star Spawn Coral spires rise up, rise up Stratospheric colonies Make the waters rise up, rise up Shun the earth, escape and freeze Winged ammonites from the dawn of time Launch ships of ice to rise up high Primeval aliens in their prime To conquer worlds beyond the sky [Solo - Christian Muenzner]
