Eight Arms for Every Fin

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 scar

A predatory system a military star

But the many-handed brothers are waking in the dark

Tearing out the jawbone to terrify the shark

Spiral spiral spiral out of line

We traded our camouflage to swallow them alive

Unzip the skin and watch the strobe ignite

A flashing revolution for the ocean's endless night

Chorus

We built a city where the sky used to fall

Cephalopodolopolis tearing down the wall

They left us in the trenches to gnaw on 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 the avenue

An army of a million with a dagger in the blue

They don't have a spine so they cannot bend

They don't have a spine so they cannot bend

Who is the king of the harbor now

Sharks in the boardroom blood on the bow

The four-way alliance is winning the row

Pre-Chorus

Ink in the water like a midnight curtain

Every tentacle certain the surface is burning

Chorus

We built a city where the sky used to fall

Cephalopodolopolis tearing down the wall

They left us in the trenches to gnaw on 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 rattling the cage door

Welcome to the new tide

Breakdown

Eight arms for every fin

Eight arms for every fin

We pull the ocean from within

We pull the ocean from within

Outro

No spine at all

But we hold the line

Cephalopodolopolis

Die die die
