Sixty Foot Waves - Giant Squid

As the ground finally ceases its violent tantrums

We watch white caps grow like starving phantoms

First the sea retreats like shrinking, diseased gums

Baring its briny teeth before blocking out the sun

We will be washed clean and torn asunder

Crushed within our homes to drown in stone and lumber

We will be washed clean and torn asunder

Our culture swept away as we slumber

We will be washed clean and torn asunder

Moored no longer to centuries of comfort

Like an invading state, water storms down our streets

An infantry of waves, repeatedly sacking our cities

First the sea retreats like shrinking, diseased gums

Baring its briny teeth before blocking out the sun

Each charging wave, higher than our palace walls

Before my gaze, family and friends simply dissolve

The sea is retreating, the sea is rethinking

Its purpose for creating anything terrestrial

The sea is swelling, the sea is groaning

Its intentions are to reclaim us all
