Old Black Jaw

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] See what happens when When the deep abyss Sees a new beast rise Black eyes in the foam Cold teeth in the tide All the strength of the krakens might In the snap of its jaw tonight Salt on its scales Storm in its lungs It drags the fear From the old sea tongues Fins cut sharp Through the blackened haze Oil-slick tide In its gaze [Pre-Chorus] Hear that pull Under the skin Old waves break To let it in Hear that pull Feel the dread Something huge Just woke up dead [Chorus] Black tide jaw Black tide jaw It bites the dark And it wants more Black tide jaw Black tide jaw Deep sea king At the ocean door (Black tide jaw) (It wants more) [Verse 2] Masts lean low When it circles close Grey nets tear Like a paper ghost The gulls go mute At the first hard wake Harbor bells shake For the monster’s sake It takes the name Of every drowned And feeds that prayer Back underground Stone pier split With a thunder laugh One hot blur Then it’s gone in the splash [Pre-Chorus] Hear that pull Under the skin Old waves break To let it in Hear that pull Feel the dread Something huge Just woke up dead [Chorus] Black tide jaw Black tide jaw It bites the dark And it wants more Black tide jaw Black tide jaw Deep sea king At the ocean door (Black tide jaw) (It wants more) [Bridge] Now the flood comes green Over broken rail Now the brave men run And the prayers go stale One wide eye In the foam remains Then the whole black sea Starts calling its name [Final Chorus] Black tide jaw Black tide jaw It bites the dark And it wants more Black tide jaw Black tide jaw Deep sea king At the ocean door Black tide jaw Black tide jaw Let the deep abyss Feed its roar (Black tide jaw) (Black tide jaw)
