Maelstrom of Charybdis Lyrics

Album: Odyssean

On turbulent waters we ride

Secure the helm if we are to survive

We must gain control of this vessel or capsize

Upon the seabed she lie

Beneath a watery abyss of brine

With her mouth stretched open wide

She revealed a gateway

Secure the helm if we are to survive

We must gain control of this vessel or capsize

Or many men will come to die

Or many men will come to die

As the beast guzzled the sea

A great maelstrom had formed

The rising tide now beckons me

Few have lived to tell

Of the creature that dwells

In the furthest reaches below

Who lurks in the shadows

Trapped within her current

She pulls with unrelenting force

I fear that my ship and crew

Will be damned to the ocean floor

Damned to the ocean floor

Trapped within her current

She pulls with unrelenting force

I fear my ship and crew

devoured like those who’ve come before

Heed the mariner’s cautionary tales

Lest we meet our fate

Damned to the ocean floor

All consuming Charybdis

And her thirst for destruction

Will it ever be quenched

Waves crash as we are submerged

Plunging into the depths

The purge has begun

Oceanic regurgitation

Geyers erupt from her gullet

Tsunamis now flood the earth

As I am expelled from her gullet

From her clutches I am free

As she returns back to the deep

Only to rise once more

Only to rise once more
