[Verse 1] I wheel through the fog On a boiler-fed barge With brass on my cuffs And salt in my charts The deck knows my name The river knows why I've seen tomorrow drown In a blink of an eye [Pre-Chorus] Don't lean on the rail Don't stare in the black Every transit leaves a wake The homeward shores collapse [Chorus] The giant wakes The surface breaks You can't undo History's mistakes When you reach down Into the deep You wake the monster From its sleep The kraken wakes The kraken wakes [Verse 2] I've bargained with storms I've mapped out the years I've chased my own desire And drowned it in tears I went back for one touch One word, one hand No, she burns like a coal I can't hold in my hand [Pre-Chorus] I heard it below That old iron groan The chain in the dark The bone under bone [Chorus] The giant wakes The surface breaks You can't undo History's mistakes When you reach down Into the deep You wake the monster From its sleep The kraken wakes The kraken wakes [Bridge] I know what I lost I know what I'd owe All regret is nothing To the Titan below If I pull at the chains, drop anchor where I wish I might sink tomorrow in eternal abyss [Final Chorus] The giant wakes The surface breaks You can't undo History's mistakes When you reach down Into the deep You wake the monster From its sleep The kraken wakes The kraken wakes The kraken wakes And the future sinks
