Murmaider II: The Water God
[Verse 1]
The gods watch over you
And they consider what you've done
But now you've hidden away
To gain your strength
Deep in a cave
Your power is regained
And your legacy has spread
To the deepest of the sea
The one that brought them vengeance
That fights for his belief
He can swim through matter
He has poisoned teeth
His tentacles have murdered
His scream can kill the weak
He's got explosives? Check
Corrosives? Check
A master at the art of murder
Mermaids weep the blackened tears
So you swim to a sunken ship
Invited by a soul who bleeds from the lips
The prophet who beckons you wades in the dark
Speaks an ancient language
This language is of sharks
He says "You're the one that I decree
The one that can save us and set us free
You've gained the power of a deity
You have the strength to wake us from this sleep"
[Interlude]
You swim on
Swim on
And so you swim on
Swim on
Keep swimming now
[Verse 2]
And the prophet gives to you this warning
If this path is chosen you'll be met with strife
For you'll be seen as an enemy of the sacred
And the gods will curse you for the rest of your life
And you say "I get by just fine
(Check)
I've known much worse life
(Check)
I've conquered dark times
(Check)
They should fear my mind"
(Check)
So now you know, then go, then
Swim on through the cold, then
Harness your strength
Because one day you may be called
To meet the mighty gods
Deep within the ocean
And if you're not prepared
Your soul will not be spared
[Pre-Chorus]
Your eyes have gone black
You'll never look back
You'll never stop swimming
You'll always be tracked
Your life is transformed
Your power has grown
Your minions stretch for leagues
For a bloodied coral throne
A crown of murdered foes
Will sit upon your head
Those that wish to challenge you
Will wish that they were dead
The beasts of the sea
Will collect and submit
Pray for your forgiveness and
Live as you permit
[Chorus]
And you'll say "I am the water god
(I am the water god)
You will bow to the water god
(You will bow to the water god)
You will live for the water god
(You will live for the water god)
And you will die for the water god"
And you will die for the water god
(Die for the water god, water god, water god)
Live
(Live)
For
(For)
The water god
(God)
Die
(Die)
For
(For)
The water god
(Die for the water god)
(Die for the water god)
[Outro]
And the deities loom nearer
(They will find you)
(They will find you)
