You hear, the merman swampin around

Grab your ears, look away, try to block out the sound

Then you smell the sludge, see a lifeless shell

Close your eyes, look away, better get up and...

Want to see our world, want to play our game

Knowing that your life is rotting away

Call anyone, even call collect

Figure out quick what you're gonna do next!

Only the strong survive when you play your game of hit and run

See all the horrors of life when the snake strikes in your Eden

Only the strong survive when you play your game of hit and run

See all the horrors of life when the snake strikes in your Eden

Want to see our world, try to play our game

Knowing that your life is rotting away

Call anyone, even call collect

Figure out quick, nothing you can do!

You breathe, the smoke into your lungs now

To see what hides beyond the angel's light

Only the strong survive when you play your game of hit and run

See all the horrors of life when the snake strikes in your Eden

He grabs you stab he takes a bit, take his life, take his life

He pulls you grab he tears away take his life, take his life

The waves crash down, his hands become clenched

From the harpoon tainted with Poseidon's stench

The disintegrating deck teeters away

Because now he knows, foul things are at play!
