1. Gossamer Claws (7:45)
What's that noise, admits the shadows?
Hoots and growls from sundry creatures asleep
Now one by one - helpless they stir
Specimens exotic - afraid to die
Deadly ruse!
Talons rend!
Rows of cages, a dark menagerie.
This proud collection, it has no equal on earth
Weird predators, uncanny symbionts
The latest addiction, is yet to hatch
Deadly ruse! Needle-like talons rend its carapace!
Plucking out its prey, with impunity it kills
Plucking out its prey, with impunity it kills
Something lies - patient hides its time
Camouflage - with the gossamer shell telescopic claws
Eyes aglow - dreadful Claws
On this most fatal of nights, somehow the compound's door has been left slightly ajar
Strange gurgling sounds, and the faintest ticks and clacks and little pops can be heard from beyond its threshold!
Albeit stroked with fear, the greasy wealthy magnate tentatively steps through the door, so overcome by greed.
His gaze peers on the dim shapes of his immeasurably costly menagerie, now turned into a grim charnel house.
His life-long pursuit, those unique pets, all dead now.
The eyes focus on that weird egg of monstrous proportions, the one of mysterious origins.
See how its surface is now lined by hair-thin yet so regular cracks. In those last moments before his demise,
his curiosity is still pigged by such a marvelous phenomenon: no strange malady, no dangerous pest behind their demise!
Just look at the shell as it blooms open, like the unfolding vestigial wings of a translucent moth! And from within the cage,
cruel limbs now dart forth.
Bars can't hold the bar head proboscis, the filthy sinewy claw now closing in upon the hapless magnate!
And as he's been dragged off his feet, towards that multi-mandibles maw, the slavering orifice sprouting festering probes,
he realized he's about to be inoculated with voracious larvae. The other confirmed creatures were mere nourishment,
fair game it thrived upon. This last victim becomes its nest...
For the beast is trapped - yet the brood is free
The brood is now free now to roam!
Hoots and growls from sundry creatures asleep
Now one by one - helpless they stir
Specimens exotic - afraid to die
Deadly ruse!
Talons rend!
Rows of cages, a dark menagerie.
This proud collection, it has no equal on earth
Weird predators, uncanny symbionts
The latest addiction, is yet to hatch
Deadly ruse! Needle-like talons rend its carapace!
Plucking out its prey, with impunity it kills
Plucking out its prey, with impunity it kills
Something lies - patient hides its time
Camouflage - with the gossamer shell telescopic claws
Eyes aglow - dreadful Claws
