The Kraken Lyrics

Below the thunders of the upper deep

Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea

His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep

The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee

About his shadowy sides; above him swell

Huge sponges of millennial growth and height

And far away into the sickly light

From many a wondrous grot and secret cell

Unnumbered and enormous polypi

Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green

There hath he lain for ages, and will lie

Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep

Until the latter fire shall heat the deep

Then once by man and angels to be seen

In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
