** Nordic Discord Challenge w43 ** GENRE: Reggae / Ska / Drum & Bass / Jungle / Lovers Rock ** THEME: Sun, Sea & Sub-Bass Blue skies, horizon wide, salt upon the breeze, Chugging out of harbor on the turquoise seas. Captain’s on the deck with a tropical tan, Looking for a catch for the frying pan. Got the sonar pinging gentle, weather looking fine, Let the heavy wire drop, pay out the line. Cast the massive net where the trench is deep, Waking up the things that are meant to sleep. Down in the silt where the pressure kills, Something’s biting hard on the iron gills. It’s not a mackerel, it’s not a whale, It’s a benthic beast with a copper tail! Pull the winch, captain! Hear the engine strain! Got a sub-bass rhythm running through its brain! Rattling the zincs right off of the hull, Even the seagulls are losing their skull! From the coral reef to the trench so black, You hooked the bass—now you can't give it back! The deckhand's shivering, dropping his cup, What kind of monster did we just haul up? It’s got scales like speakers and teeth like a comb, And a low-frequency hum that's shaking our home. Echoes in the cabin, breaking the glass, Nothing in the ocean is moving this fast! Sonar screen is bleeding red! Wake the dead! Wake the dead! Sub-bass pressure crushing the plate! Too late! Too late! Cut the line! Cut the line! That ain't no fish of yours or mine! Just a floating buoy... And a broken net... Best catch of the season... You'll ever regret.
