lyrics

I was born under the sea,
constant danger surrounded me,
in the darkness, in the cold
where no sunrays will unfold.

I'm not the monster from your tales
but that's the notion that prevails.
You didn't know but keep in mind
I'm the last of my kind.

[Refrain 1]
We were around, even then,
long before the dawn of man.
For centuries suspected,
decades hunted but not detected.
They call me Architeuthis.

[Refrain 2]
And now I show myself
as a proof of natures wealth.
I'll be the last of many
that were killed before me
and nobody did ever see.

More than once I had to fight
against my adversaries' might.
The only well known trails
were on the skin of those whales.
All those fights from my past
have been fierce but also just.

Unlike those fought with man,
a lost cause since it began.
They don't notice that in the end
their own behavior, once again,
shortens their own life's span.

[Refrain 1]
We were around, even then,
long before the dawn of man.
For centuries suspected,
decades hunted but not detected.
They call me Architeuthis.

[Refrain 2]
And now I show myself
as a proof of natures wealth.
I'll be the last of many
that were killed before me
and nobody did ever see.
