Ben Varney - Jonah's Lift Lyrics

The sun bleeds, the sea grimace
The waves grieve, the ship simmers
The candle watches, as my eyes flicker
The boat rocks, the ice shivers
Black spot on my chest, it's an omen
Crabs rotting in a bucket in the open
Waves crash, wonder what is the commotion
Broken bones gently floating in the ocean
Tentacles lash, I race up the steps
The Kraken has come and I'm paying my debt
Shaking the deck like I'm playing with death
The albatross heavy, it's straining my neck
Holes in the bow, port, starboard, and stern
Candles topple in cabin, they burn
Water rush as the fire rise
Head to the plank for my demise
Cannon blow, tragic where the Kraken goes
Madness when her shackles broke
Trapped up in a paddle boat,
Stand up in a battle pose
Think she trying to snatch my soul
There's no chance to patch the holes
Mast collapse and snapped the rope
Ship walls start to groan and twist
Kraken size of Moby Dick
Orchestrate a Jonah's lift
Throw our bodies over ship
Floating over open rifts
Tread seas with my broken limbs
Orchestrate a Jonah's lift
Throw our bodies over ship
Jonah's lift
Tiger killed the crew, I had to fight to escape
He came for my throat but lost his life to a blade
Sliced at his eyes, on my face left a scrape
Look into the water, I see stripes on my face
Treading water but the man is far from Jesus
Try to stay afloat while my boat is strewn in pieces
I search beneath my feet but I can't seem to f*cking see her
Amongst the clouds of red, I see something way down deeper
It grabs my legs and I kick and I splutter
Look to the sky and it's filling with thunder
I rage and I struggle, I grab debris
Stab at her body, we start to bleed
Three souls bound, she's dragging me under
She's taking us down, there's no way to recover
I still remain strapped to my skeletal tether
Birds of a feather go down together
Cannon blow, tragic where the Kraken goes
Madness when her shackles broke
Trapped up in a paddle boat,
Stand up in a battle pose
Think she trying to snatch my soul
There's no chance to patch the holes
Mast collapse and snapped the rope
Ship walls start to groan and twist
Kraken size of Moby Dick
Orchestrate a Jonah's lift
Throw our bodies over ship
Floating over open rifts
Tread seas with my broken limbs
Orchestrate a Jonah's lift
Throw our bodies over ship
Jonah's lift
