You vs the Octopus

from Fishslaughter I by Fishslaughter

lyrics

This deep sea station
Pinned to the floor
Artificial lights
Don't open the door

Clung to the hatch
And outside the wall
Octopod seeks entrance
And in he shall crawl

You are his prey
He alters his hue
His skin now black and grey
He does this just for you

He is invisible
Pain is indivisible
Sucking out your life
Your soul under the knife

Grip your harpoon
As he enters the room
This deep station your tomb
This deep station his womb

The first aquanaut gone
As if swallowed by the wall
As if consumed by the pall
As if he was never even here at all

Three more of you are left
You put your backs to your backs
And so your necks to your necks
Perfect for this executioner's axe

This deep sea station
Pinned to the floor
Artificial lights
Don't open the door

Clung to the hatch
And outside the wall
Octopod seeks entrance
And in he shall crawl

He is invisible
Pain is indivisible
Sucking out your life
Your soul under the knife

A tentacle whips from the shadow
And grabs your first mate
You lash out with blades
You've drawn black octopus blood

It's filled with rage
It makes quick work of your friends
In mortal combat engage
The time has come for this to end

The pugilists rest
The stones are close
This is the nature of the depths

You try to make your home your nest
It will not rest
Until you're dead or until it's gone

In this darkness meet your match
Your failed catch
That which entered when you lost your hatch
