Tune Into The Madness

de Dan Bull

Memories of pure and untarnished lands
Float away far beyond these sands

Our predecessors were primal
Left the deepest depths for survival
In the bigger scheme, we've only recently arrived
But now we're re-entering the seas like we were tidal
Tired of all the grief, want to leave and seek a new life
Less ordinary, that's all we need therefore, let's see what we find
All aboard for pure shores, no more featureless beaches
'Cause the deeper we creep up in here, the weirder the scenes that'll greet us
Adrift, caught amidst all the crystal and mist, we'll be speechless
Risking it all on a trip just to see where it leads us
Critters and creatures the likes of which no being saw yet
It's a different feeling, being drawn into a vortex

We are survivors, we understand
Past our horizon lies one last chance
Memories of pure and untarnished lands
Float away far beyond these sands
Memories of pure and untarnished lands
Propel the power under our command

I want to know the sea, show my knowledge of, it's deepened
Got a boat for free, so I'm following the beacon
Wandering a region I know quite well right now
Night owls might see the gleaming of the lighthouse
It's bright out, bring your bikini and a dry towel
Plus, it might help to pack a rifle full of live rounds
Look what I found: Unimaginable treasures
Unnatural weather's inevitable on a map that's edgeless
The sea's unmatched, ceaseless, it's power's endless
It seemingly sees us and seizes even our senses
It can pretend to be a friend, but heed these wise words
The second you believe you're winning, the tide turns

Under the sea the undead are seen, and it's obscene
All aboard, they crawl toward you hungrily
Prowling aquatic zombies surround us
Drag us down underneath the prow and then drown us
So pay attention now, I warn you, danger lurks around the corner
Sailing ships around the horn, so stay alert, they'll outperform you
Gales and storms welcome the day as it downs
Hell here can take many forms, now you think staying indoors
Would have been wiser, but wise up, why, sir?
Adrenaline is like sea levels that rise up
Beasts reach the sky with lithe writhing tentacles
Your nemesis arrived, might just end us all
You're inconsequential, and no gods will let you bend the rules
You can't prevent the zombie spread infecting every pore
Every shore, every cave, every crevice, every corner
Terrors will menace 'till there's no one left to mourn you
