Water kiss
Abiogenesis
Bubbles to the surface
And breathes in
Artist’s stroke
Big bang under the ocean
Whirlpool of bones
Blossoming
Let the living waters flow and bring the World to life
Trickle down the darkest cracks that never get the light
Weaving in and out of every creature on the Earth
Pull us all into the harmony that we’re created for
Dynasties
At the bottom of the seas
Monsters and beings
Undisturbed by man
Gave up our throne for greed
The world sank to anarchy
Made itself a king
Far from land
Let the living waters flow and bring the World to life
Trickle down the darkest cracks that never get the light
Weaving in and out of every creature on the Earth
Pull us all into the harmony that we’re created for
Let the living waters flow and bring the World to life
Trickle down the darkest cracks that never get the light
Weaving in and out of every creature on the Earth
Pull us all into the harmony that we’re created for
Living waters rise
Flooding from God’s crying eyes
Running down his pierced side
Living waters rise
Welling up deep down inside
Raise these dead seeds back to life

Bottom of the Barrel

LYRICS:
Verse 1:
Spinning out of control beneath the world
Where black and blue are up and down
No air left in my lungs
By now I’ve surely drowned
Chorus:
Down at the bottom of the barrel
Still your love is bottomless
The weight of the world is crushing me to a pulp
But it brings my soul to the surface
If I make my bed in Mariana Trench
I’m welcomed to a city that’s lit
Bioluminescence
Verse 2:
The sea is filled with miles of flashing lights
Like fireflies on moonless nights
My soul shines with the rest of them
Flesh and spirit both ignite

The Bloop
00:36
|

|
“Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life.”
And God created great Tanninim and every living creature that moveth
Which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind
And God saw that it was good, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas.”
[taken from Genesis 1]

LYRICS
You got, more day than night, more light than dark, you got
More sun than moon, but more space than stars, you gotta
See each piece must play its part, it’s parta
Harmony and part of our heart, you gotta
See each major has a minor counterpart
Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater
Every father has a mother who has a father
Holds the whole universe together, you gotta
Let the darkness come, so the day can rest in peace
Nocturnal things come dance to minor harmonies
O Tanninim arise, from where you once did slumber
Give glory to the LORD, where man has left uncovered
You got tanninim and cherubim gonna whet ya
appetite for jaws that bite and claws that catcha
Kraken and Leviathan are sunken treasure
Howls at night and Bloop sound bites will let ya
Know there’s things we’ve never seen and never get to
Undisturbed for thousands of years the creatures
Didn’t need Adam’s name to give Him pleasure
Always do, what they were made to, you betta
Let the darkness come, so the day can rest in peace
Nocturnal things come dance to minor harmonies
O Tanninim arise, from where you once did slumber
Give glory to the LORD, where man has left uncovered
Let the darkness come, so the day can rest in peace
Nocturnal things come dance to minor harmonies
O Tanninim arise, from where you once did slumber
Give glory to the LORD, where man has left uncovered

What's Kraken?
03:55
|
|||
|
LYRICS
Verse 1:
Sighted in the Greenland Sea
Recorded down in Natural History
Regarded as a science fact
Then decades later they retract
Does anybody really know “What’s Kraken?”
[“Excellent question, sir. What really is Kraken?”]
Prechorus 1:
Maybe when they see a squid they really see a tool
To meet their basic human needs at the cost of making people fools
A guarantee to sell his book or justify his rule
When is science really science when it’s fueled by our survival
Verse 2:
A tentacle washed up on shore
The TV says there’s something more
“Was it just a giant squid or evidence of Leviathan?”
Can anybody out there say “What’s Kraken?”
Prechorus 2:
Who can really trust the news when it’s always who verse who?
Give me something I can prove, something true as two plus two.
‘Cause the truth will always lead to love and never to abuse.
I’m holding out for some good news that’s really good and really news.
Chorus:
Give me proof, give me something I can hold onto.
Timeless truth that’s still good as new.
Someone give me some good news, ooh that don’t have two sides to it.
Ooh it cuts right through the reds and blues.
Outro:
[“The public won’t take it anymore. We demand the authorities hand over to us the truth. The truth must be released.”]
Release the Kraken!

Fish in the Sea

Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes
Come all you fishermen listen to me
And I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea, and it's …
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes
Up jumps a whale, the largest of all, he says,
"You want some wind, boys, well, I'll blow ye a squall," and it's…
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes

Angel Aquarium
03:10
|

|
LYRICS:
Angels, guarding over territories
For every one if by land there's two if by sea
And anywhere that we could use some company
Sentinels, finding all the lost sheep at sea
If I could open up my third eye to see them
Sheltering us with their fins instead of wings
Nice to know we're not the only beings upon the sea
Impossible to be alone in such great company
Angels in aquariums
I can join the party just as soon as I believe
Cherubim, collecting all the souls washed away
Take 'em down to a holding place where they are safe
Until they're raised again on Judgment Day
Aquarium, underwater purgatory
They seized Davy Jones Locker key, anarchy in the sea
An archangel seized monarchy
Nice to know we're not the only beings upon the sea
Impossible to be alone in such great company
Angels in aquariums
I can join the party just as soon as I believe
Nice to know we're not the only beings upon the sea
Impossible to be alone in such great company
Angels in aquariums
I can join the party just as soon as I believe

King of the Deep
04:00
|
|||
|
LYRICS:
SAILORS:
Back and forth we sway and sink
In tidal chains our spirits are linked
Who knew the River Styx channeled the sea
And ends at a kingdom lit up by the deceased
Spirits rule over their territories
Angels and demons are princes and kings
If gods of mythology were Nephilim
Then surely Poseidon is the King of the Deep
ANGELS:
When the souls of men, reach their full dissent
We’ll be waiting to catch them into our hands
Their hearts will be known, whether chaff or gold
Burned on the Hearth of the ocean’s King Archangel
POSEIDON:
I have leagues, of angels with me
Sit on my throne catching souls like trophies
I’ve been known, as Neptune and Poseidon
King of the Deep between land and Perdition
ANGELS:
Falling from above, we know not where from
But we collect them into our aquarium
SAILORS:
Six feet down, or six thousand
We’re buried by fathoms until our judgment
Back and forth we sway and sink
In tidal chains our spirits are linked
ANGELS:
When the Son of God, gives his final call
His voice rings out into the tombs of us all
Their hearts will be known, whether chaff or gold
Burned on the Hearth of the ocean’s King Archangel
POSEIDON:
Chaff will burn, on Poseidon’s Hearth
Those who are left resurrect back to Earth
All the souls, in Davy Jones
Will wash ashore to the Great White Throne
HARMONY: OOOOHS

Man Myth Legend
03:15
|
|||
|
LYRICS
Verse 1:
Chained to Plato’s Cavern, Chained to shadows of tradition
And Black silhouettes that line the ceiling of the ocean,
more souls are sinking every year, oh something must be wrong up there
Do or die, it’s time we find, the truth or lies, behind the man myth legend
Verse 2:
Grab your shield and trident, get your sea horse armed for war.
Let your fins all fly, and ride with the nautical sea lords
They say these men are more like beasts
Eat you with their war machines
But if there’s any chance of peace we have no choice, leave our world of safety
Chorus:
When I look at Heaven I see silhouettes in black
Tradition tries to demonize what we don’t understand
We need to see them through the love that covers all our skins
Until we’re dining in their homes, these men will be as good as myths and legends
Bridge:
They say the issue’s black and white,
But aren’t we all just different shades of gray
If it makes us black and blue, then we’re going the wrong way.
But we could bring in an age of peace,
Joining both our worlds into one
We could be the heroes that make a new end to the legend

Us and Them
03:38
|
|||
|
LYRICS:
Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're all just ordinary men
Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved side to side
Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end we're spinning round 'n round (round, round, round)
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
[Talking: No one’s ever been to the surface, it’s just too dangerous
Last time any angel ever tried that it just brought war and violence.
Those men are just born evil beasts.
You ever seen one? They say they ride huge monsters and have hands that shoot fire and kill anything in sight.
Listen, don’t even think about it. They’re fine up there and we’re fine down here minding our own business, just like it’s always been.]

LYRICS:
Rise of the Sea Lords
Royal blood is coursing through our veins
Transfusion with eternal life
Connect to the Life Source
Fills up our souls with love and grace
Nothing left to lose ‘cause we can’t die
I am untouchable
‘Cause nothing in this world can touch my soul
I am unconditionally loved
More than my heart could ever hold
Enter the folklore
Become the heroes in the legends we were told
Choose any destiny we want
Ride up to Heaven’s shore
No telling how high we can go
Climb ever closer to the sun
I am untouchable
‘Cause nothing in this world can touch my soul
I am unconditionally loved
More than my heart could ever hold
I am a part of a plan
Where I am taken care of forever
I have eternal life
So tell me what is left to fear?
I am untouchable
‘Cause nothing in this world can touch my soul
I am unconditionally loved
More than my heart could ever hold
I am a part of a plan
Where I am taken care of forever
I have eternal life
So tell me what is left to fear?

The Other Side

LYRICS:
Hello down there
From the other side
The land of air and light
Where the waves go to die
If you're wanting Heaven
Well, you'll have to keep on going
'Cause we are also looking up to where the sun is glowing
You think this is Heaven
Yeah, but we're the ones all dying for our crimes
No, up here no one gets out alive
We live in the light of the sun
But it burns our skin as red as devils
The air is taking us apart piece by piece
Till we return to dust for shovels
People always look for Heaven in the wrong places
As if it's just somewhere you go on retirement vacation
But a wise man once said that the Kingdom of Heaven is within
Try looking there and let me know when you find it
We're going on a search for the real Heaven
A Heaven we don't have to wait for till our lives are through
We're finding out the real meaning of salvation
And finding out it's better than anything we thought we knew
Look into the light
And not the kind that blinds you or burns out your eyes
The Spirit deep inside
Says, "Today you all can be with me in paradise"
On the other side
The other side
The other side
We're breaking through the chasm to the other side
To Paradise
On the other side
The other side
See you on the other side
In Paradise

Rusty Shipp Nashville, Tennessee
Named after the frontman Russ T. Shipp, the band has created a sound known as Nautical Rock ‘n’ Roll. Characterized by its
dark, underwater atmosphere, haunting vocals, and unconventional riffs, the music is a perfect fusion of grunge and surf rock, though it is most memorable for the Beatlesque hooks in every single song.

Randy has taken things up several notches AGAIN! He has always had some doom/sludge elements, but this album takes it to a different level! This album is HEAVY! The mix/production are top notch! The lyrics seem deeper & more introspective, like he sees things through others’ eyes & writes from that perspective. You can feel the pain, heartache, & struggle. But, he doesn’t leave you without hope. The lyrics are very relatable & bring a sense of relief knowing others feel the same emotions in life
