Dead
things in the water
Dead
things in the water
Make
us wonder
Make
us ponder
We
know not what they are -
Dead
things in the water
That
come alive, that come alive
When
we must dive
Dead
things in the water
That
breathe and butcher -
Dead
things in the water
Dead
things in the woods too
What
are we supposed to do
If
those renegade swimmers
Take
us down underwater
What
are we supposed to do
If
those treacherous creepers
Take
us deep into the wood -
Dead
things in the air
Dead
things in the air
Moulting,
sloughing, skulking
Dead
things that breathe like us
That
came back to hunt us -
The
things that are dead
The
dead things in the water
Those
things we fear
Those
things we dread
Those
hideous things murder
And
feast on our dead -
Dead
things in the water
Take
the stranger
Take
the stranded
We
no longer are the hunter
We
are now the hunted -
Dead
things, dead things to us
Yet
dead things that move
Creatures
from the unconscious
Yet
those that the waterline groove
Are
more lethal and more vicious
Critters
our minds can’t disprove -
Dead
things in the water
That
we shall become
If
we must succumb
To
the monsters
That
scare and slaughter -
Dead
things in the water
Dead
things in the water
Do
not linger
Do
not linger
We
do not know what they are -
Hide
from the dark of the night
Shun
the shadow of the day
Do
not tarry where the dead lay
Wraith
and crow and wight
Teeth
and claws that slay
Hide
away
Hide
away
from the dark night -
Yet
if the dead catch you
Fight
if you can, fight
For
they will pursue
Hack
and hew
Relentless
and wild
Drag
you into the deep blue -
Dead
things
Dead
things in the water
Darklings
That
wring collars
That
wreck tendons
That
dwell deep in the water
That
hide behind the firs
That
fly out come sundown -
Dead
things in the water
We
watch and pray for
The
fabric of life torn asunder -
Dead
things in the water
We
hold hands on the shore
While
the dead beneath thunder -
Dead
things in the water
We
know not what they are
Yet
hell-bent on killing us they are -
Dead
things in the water
Dead
things in the water
Dead
things in the water
-
