lyrics

Lord of the Depths

No one has seen one alive in its home
Bodies are all that remain to be shown
Cast up on beaches or tangled in nets,
The end of what had been a lord of the depths

Way down in the ocean we seek far and wide
But they've known for millions of years how to hide
And slither with ease from the eyes of people
Although they're at least the size of a steeple

Eyes full as moons, each as big as your head
Guide our squid where the sunlight is weaker than thread
But to balance himself, he completely relies
On an organ as small as a grain of rice

Chorus

Sooner or later the facts will catch up
With the myth of the squid that they call Architeuthis
And then it may be that the legends are not
Halfway as strange as the truth is

Arm, tentacle, mantle, fin. these are the parts of a leviathan

In a world of his own without daylight or stars
Where we know even less than we do about Mars
The squid is at peace, but we may be appalled
That here man appears not to matter at all

Angel Dean and Sue Garner grew up in the south about a hundred miles apart as the crow flies. They met in 1981, in New York City. They’ve played in numerous groups, together and separately. In 2003, they recorded an album for Diesel Only called Pot Liquor. Little did they know that their second album would take a dog’s age to see the light, but at long last Gardeania has flowered.
