Beak on Bone & the Red Mantle of the King (Architeuthis Dux) Lyrics

Dragged in, torn down, hooks into skin
Gasping, struggling, no way to win
Beak on bone the devouring begins
The red mantle of this king
Through the surface of the water
The moon reflects a castle keep
A fire burning till the morning
Never to see the sun again
To miss the warmth of dry land
To never taste oxygen again
Dragged in, torn down, hooks into skin
Gasping, struggling no way to win
Beak on bone the devouring begins
The red mantle of this king
Architeuthis heard the splashing
From its darkened resting place
A cold ocean under moonlight
A tentacled embrace
Architeuthis Dux
The red mantle of the king
Once thought a mythical beast
Now the truth I sing!
