lyrics

REPTILE

can’t you hear wrecks groaning?
that doom comes from the sea

late it heard the calling
of the old leviathan
breaks out, spits the fire
that has been tamed by them

there’s fear in its eyes
but less than in their heads
its roar and its cry
sums up what has been said

it’s so cruel, so big
and they’re so motherfuckin’ weak

oh, it’s the reptile and the bomb
the great caress of megatons
it’s the reptile and the bomb
the great caress of megatons

stone-scales, steel-spines
the army on its back
(though) its dark shape reminds
of someone, dark deceit

spat out by the black damp
from the womb into the tomb with pain
oh, how sad and blind
how suggestive that is

it’s so cruel, so big
and they’re so motherfuckin’ weak

oh, it’s the reptile and the bomb
the great caress of megatons
it’s the reptile and the bomb
the great caress of megatons

inhaling, exhaling steam-engine
inhaling, exhaling just like them

oh, it’s the reptile and the bomb
the great caress of megatons
it’s the reptile and the bomb
the great caress of megatons
oh, it’s the reptile and the bomb
the great caress of megatons
oh, it’s the reptile and the bomb
the great caress of megatons
