There's an ancient legend An oceanic tale An underwater monster not a fish and not a whale It isn't quite a creature It isn't quite machine And you won't know what hit you 'til you hear your crewmen scream! Down below the ocean It's waiting in the dark When there's stormy weather it will tear your ship apart Its tentacles are ma**ive Its teeth are made of steel You may call it myth, but I a**ure you that it's real! When the waves come rolling in, and lightning fills the sky, All the sailors know that the leviathan is nigh! If he grabs onto your boat, he'll never let you go-- Soon you'll join a thousand ships he's sent to the depths below! A body made of metal But with a living brain Survivors who have told of it have all been called insane But many ships have vanished They've gone without a word
Perhaps the stories that these sailors tell aren't that absurd! So if you sail the ocean Stay always on your guard Or you may wind up lifeless when that monster hits you hard He'll wrap himself around you You'll wish that you weren't born So if this beast attacks you please don't say that you weren't warned! When the waves come rolling in, and lightning fills the sky, All the sailors know that the leviathan is nigh! If he grabs onto your boat, he'll never let you go-- Soon you'll join a thousand ships he's sent to the depths below! When the waves come rolling in, and lightning fills the sky, All the sailors know that the leviathan is nigh! If he grabs onto your boat, he'll never let you go-- Soon you'll join a thousand ships he's sent to the depths be... (One! Two! Three! Four!) ...low!
