Kaiju

Sound the alarm
There's been a containment breach
Initiate the lockdown
Terminate the class-D's
Pile bodies, build a barricade
And pray it keeps these things at bay

Don't look away from the sculpture
Just try not the blink
And never avert your eyes
It dresses your neck with its arms
Snaps at the base
Severing your spine

I've never known fear quite like this
If I could forget this all I would

[Chorus]

Sound the alarm
I'm not running away from these monsters
I'm arming this bomb underneath
Making peace with the fact this'll be the death of me

This thing just won't stay dead
A thousand eyes grow out the back of its head
You would refuse my gift
Some semblance of peace and warmth before your death

He wears a shadowy shroud
Consuming everything not washed by light
Not even pictures are safe
Don't stare at its face

The size of this sight is expanding
The pen carries your hand as you write
The voice at the end of the phone
Cries to be saved before it's replaced
This room is alive and breathing
Much like this mechanical mess
But who can speak for the thing we forget

Cut all the losses
There's no escaping this
The blood will run like a river of red through these halls
We fight for life and light
But beg for death before the end

I bought all the time that I can
To get you out alive
If you're hearing this
It means that we'll all go down together

Oh captain, my captain

I'm not waiting to die
I've never liked long goodbyes
