Maw of the King

[Pre-Chorus]
Beware his maw, King of the Undertow
One who takes the strongest below
Tale of one who creates the thunder
One who brought me under too

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

[Verse 1]
I'll tell you the story from many years ago
Before we had taken this town for our own
(Hey!)
A fearsome monster of the ocean was lurking
Upon the shores of our home

Our crewmen would leave and they'd seldom return
And those who did told of the beast who incured
The wrath of the gods living beneath the sea
The one they only call the King

[Chorus]
(Beware his maw, King of the Undertow)
(One who takes the strongest below)
(Tale of one who creates the thunder)
The one who took me under too

[Verse 2]
No one from that city would come to our aid
As our children would suffer day after day
Our supplies would soon drain, only there for their gain
Lack of supply made for a great pay

No longer could we wait for someone to arrive
We decided that we could no longer stand by
With the strongest of us, taking the boldest of us
We'd finally take down the King

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

[Chorus 2]
Boom! Crash! Went the raging storm
Boom! Crash! As we faced down our foe
Boom! Crash! Went the tail of the beast
But we are not easy to beat!

Boom! Crash! As the battle wore on
Boom! Crash! Our men remained so strong!
Boom! Crash! But as we thought we'd won
The bastard, he breached and took one of us down

[Bridge]
It was darker than night in the maw of the beast
All I could taste was my blood and the sea
But even as I knew the end of approaching
I knew he was waiting for me

(Spoken)
You want to know what I did?
(So what did you do?)
You want to know what I did?
(What did you do?)
I'll tell you what I did, I screamed louder than lightning; burned the King inside out!
(ya!)

[Outro]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
