(unh) Beneath the waves of Cortez Where the deeper waters sleep
There's a shadow growing wider From the canyons of the deep (nooo)
Fishermen whisper the story Of the scale that blocks the sun
When the water turns to ink You know your time has come
Black Demon rising,
terror of the tide Fifty feet of fury,
nowhere left to hide
(wooah) An ancient hunger,
king of the dark blue
He's coming for you
Wooden hulls and steel plates
Snapping like a brittle bone
No prayer can save the sailor
Once the demon marks his own
Fishermen whisper the story
Of the scale that blocks the sun
When the water turns to ink You know your time has come
Black Demon rising,
terror of the tide Fifty feet of fury,
nowhere left to hide
(no hide!) An ancient hunger,
king of the dark blue
He's coming for you
From the abyss of time
(the dark sea) A legend never
dies (he lives
on)
He rules the deep (the
black sea) Underneath...
