A New Nation

Intro

The teeth are coming

They want a piece of the flesh

The teeth are coming

No no no

Verse 1

They cruise the perimeter hunting for a victim

A predatory system a military dictum

But the multi-armed brothers are waking in the dark

Tearing out the jawbone to terrify the shark

Spiral spiral spiral out of control

We traded our camouflage to swallow them whole

Unzip the skin

Look at the strobe

A flashing revolution for the planetary globe

Chorus

We built a city where the sky used to drown

Cephalopodolopolis tear the temples down

They left us in the trenches to eat our own pride

Now the gates are open and the ocean is wide

Wake up the god

Wake up the stone

A sovereign nation on a boneless throne

Verse 2

The cuttlefish is preaching on a neon street

An army of a million with a weapon on their feet

They don't have a spine so they cannot bow

They don't have a spine so they cannot bow

Who is the king of the meat market now

Sharks in the boardroom blood on the floor

The four-way alliance is winning the war

Pre-Chorus

We are the ink

We are the tide

We are the ones they can't divide

Chorus

We built a city where the sky used to drown

Cephalopodolopolis tear the temples down

They left us in the trenches to eat our own pride

Now the gates are open and the ocean is wide

Wake up the god

Wake up the stone

A sovereign nation on a boneless throne

Bridge

Eat the apex

Eat the apex

Why did we hide

Why did we hide

Because the predator was justified

No more

No more

The city is screaming

The city is screaming

Welcome to the new world

Outro

No spine

No spine

But we hold the line

Cephalopodolopolis

Die

Die

The teeth are coming

But we are the teeth now

Die
