Permafrost fractures in silence
Where the dying twilight bleeds
Longships spiral through the blackness
Fed to jaws beneath the seas
From the drowned halls far below there
Where dead kings sink into rust
Comes a tide of serrated tentacles
Grinding frozen flesh to dust
Lightning scars the black horizon
Runes ignite upon the mast
Voices echo ancient curses
Of the deep one risen at last
Eyes like pale and dying planets
Colder than the grave's embrace
Coils ascending through the darkness
From the crypt beneath the waves
Hear the hymn of hollow vessels
Calling from the depths below
No salvation shall be granted
When the kraken wakes below
Kraken! Breaker of the northern seas
Kraken! Pull us down to blackened deeps
From the trenches cold and timeless
You awaken crowned in doom
Elder god of storm and darkness
Rise and drown the world in gloom
Iron bells decay in saltwater
Thrones and fleets are swallowed whole
Helheim breathes beneath the maelstrom
Feeding on the sailor's soul
Bone-white lightning scars the heavens
As the beast consumes the sky
Every prayer dissolves to silence
Every soul is left to die
Beneath the ice… beneath the tide…
The ancient dead have never died…
In depths where even daylight bleeds…
The kraken dreams… the kraken feeds…
Crush the hull
Snap the spine
Drag the living down alive
Salt and iron
Flood the sea
No gods remain to hear the screams
Kraken! Born before the elder dawn
Kraken! Claim the frozen seas as throne
From the fjords of death unending
To the edge of fading light
Rise, leviathan infernal
And consume the heavens bright
The sea grows still…
The stars decay…
Only the kraken
Remains…
