[short Intro] [Verse][soft singing male tenor vocals] I came out of the dark water, Where the shadows dance and the ripples chatter, I glide deeper, thanks to my gill, In the cold embrace, where time stands still. Fins to swim through the murky gloom, Cold skin, cold blood, where the lost dreams loom. Scales covering my body, a shimmering guise, In the depths of the black lagoon, where silence lies. [Chorus] I was born into this world, thick and alive, In the heart of the Amazon, where the forgotten thrive. As a creature, a monster, forged from the dark, A child of the depths, adrift and apart. [wooden percussions and pan flute] [Verse] Creatures of the water, coated in lore, Mysteries unravel on the river’s floor. Guardians of the lagoon, fierce and proud, They silence the whispers, they lower the shroud. With jaws that snap, and eyes that gleam, My people, the monsters of a timeless dream. They hunt and they kill, in shadows they prowl, Guarding the secrets beneath the night’s howl. [Bridge] But I am an outsider, lost in my plight, Banished by kin who vanish from sight. For perhaps, in the shadows, I’ll find my own voice, In the dark water's embrace, I’ll make my own choice. [Step-Up Modulation Chorus] I was born into this world, thick and alive, In the heart of the Amazon, where the forgotten thrive. As a creature, a monster, forged from the dark, A child of the depths, adrift and apart. [Outro] [distant thunder thunderous]
