lyrics

Hydra wash up on the beach
A fire will rise on its demise
Right before our slurping eyes
This monster into morsels slice

We let the flame invade
Great gleaming gobs of fish-fat fell
To coat our modish hairstyles well
In a submarine pomade

And like a wildcat geyser
From the belly of the beast
Burst an oily liquor
Blotting out the summer sun
The fiery pitch had burned us all
It works its magic where it falls
And turned us into demon's thralls
Every single one

Those who observed their neighbours
Believed they were in hell
And fought in terror to escape
With brands, and rocks, and fishing knives
Then we heard the gunshots coming from the town:
Soldiers seeing evil's march and fighting for their lives

And I fled madly to the sea
And many fellows followed me
And drowned amid the breakers
Far beyond my reach
The water closed above my head
To smother back that evil scene
Its mercy dragged me far away and left me on a distant beach

It took me many hours to stumble to spot I'd started on
Where the sea had washed away the dead
Every single one
Where the sea had washed away the dead
Every corpse but one
