Architeuthis


[Words & music - Kirkpatrick]
[Romans 1:20, 1 Corinthians 2:9]

There is a beast that does exist
Not just a myth - the facts persist
Known from the dead that washed ashore
From modern graphs to old folklore
Not yet one ever seen alive
Though scientists and divers strive

Architeuthis - show yourself to us

Among the largest of the planet
The giant squid - the architeuthis
How can this massive creature
Escape the hordes of searching eyes
Escape the wisdom of the wise
Escape the sonar, the bathyscaphe
Returns with countless plotted graphs

Architeuthis - show yourself to us

I know God I've never seen
Not merely just a wishful dream
Alive, nut not for us to see
But living in the hearts of men
So great is His love for us
Yet many seekers look in vain
If you will set aside your pride, your arrogant facade
Then you can enter into grace

Architeuthis show yourself to us
Let us gaze at your haunting frame
We know you're real - no longer conceal
What bloated corpses already revealed
The last of the giant living mysteries

Architeuthis - show yourself to us

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics ARCHITEUTHIS of TOURNIQUET is also present in the album Where moth and rust destroy (2003)

Biografia

Tourniquet is an American Christian thrash metal band active since 1987.

Tourniquet is known for its aggressive and complex music, which combines elements of thrash metal with progressive and melodic influences. The lyrics often address religious and philosophical themes, exploring issues of faith, morality, and social justice. Some of their most representative songs include "Judas", "The Hammer" and "Blood and Fire". The album "Pathogenic Omens" (1993) is considered a classic of the Christian thrash metal genre.
