lirik lagu i am the manic whale - nautilus
[part i. the captain takes us down]
away from the world, away from the noise
the quiet, the dark, the joyous isolation
leaving behind the land that has burned him
leaving the system that took everything from him
brooding beneath the waves, stewing under briny tides
his rage fermenting in the ocean depths and he just can’t forget
belabouring there in self~imposed exile
escaping terrestrial civilisation
dwelling inside his darkеst emotions
shunning society as he roams thе sea (roams the sea)
absorbed in marine research (he must distract himself somehow)
finding new worlds that none have seen
a voyage of science and discovery and exploration
the external lights have attracted a schooner
but he’ll take them on: the world’s best harpooner
leads them a chase over leagues of wild water
they think they’re fighting an oversized narwhal
drags them beneath the waves (we’re going to need a bigger boat)
they will surely be drowned
but just at the last moment they are pulled inside the metacular hull of a submarine
[part ii. a journey of discovery]
at wonderful speed one hundred feet beneath the surface
the captain shows us round his ship (it’s all his own creation)
although we’re prisoners something of the beauty of these sights
makes us feel quite free (electrically powered submarine)
the captain smiles “dive the boat, it’s time” he cries
will we ever see the land again?
as we explore the long sunken vessels and coral formations
a crazed cetacean waves h~llo (h~llo)
perhaps we will discover a giant sea~weevil or a new kind of zoophyte
perchance we might find what became of atlantis (transatlantic telegraph cable)
the captain speaks “set all of the controls due south”
“let’s go where none have gone before”
the vessel dives and ploughs its way beneath the ice
we’re heading right down to the pole
[part iii. under the ice]
we tried to tell him we don’t think we’ll get free
we tried to stop him but the ice refreezes behind us and now we’re stuck inside
[instrumental break]
[part iv. the nautilus vs the giant cephalopod]
[instrumental]
[part v. escape from the maelstrom]
we’ve escaped from the ice, escaped from a giant squid
can there be anything left to escape from?
the captain has spied a war equipped vessel
from his own country and he’s going to take it down
the engines roar with power (there has to be another way)
we have set a collision course
aiming for their hull we ram it at mighty speed
timber and man dragged down (i don’t see how they can survive)
but the captain sinks deeper
into his black despair as evil takes hold of him and embraces him
the captain cries “almighty god, enough, enough”
it’s time to take this to the depths
into the maelstrom the submarine is slowly dragged
he’ll take us with him to our deaths
time to be free from the madness of this maniac
we make a break for the escape
we launch the skiff and row with all the strength we have
just as the nautilus is pulled inexorably down, down, down, down
