Lied von der Grundelschnük

Grundelschnük
Written in a book, species long extinct
Grundelschnük
Floating by the brook, eyes of laser beam

All the etchings would appear to show a tiny, cute, chubby scamp
Bringing false security to its unsuspecting midday snack
He’s a cuddly little monster that long ago haunted the beach
Poison in its fang will paralyze its prey alive while it eats

Ravaging the ocean vessels, puncturing hulls
Scouring an empty shore with lost sailor sculls

The more that I learn of this ancient scourge
The more that a chill swallows mе
It can be small or ten stories tall
Grundеlschnük, the plague of the sea

Grundelschnük
Tongue like a hook, fur with scales beneath
Grundelschnük
Floating by the brook, staring at me in all my dreams
