Calcified shell, hidden rot in the brine
Slippery tissue, a lethal design
The tide turns within, the stomach ignites
Rejection of matter, these dark, viscous nights

Pressure building behind the throat wall!
A jagged crimson, a violent fall!
The brine hits the pavement, a metallic spray!
The bivalve revenge, decay on display!

Convulsive heaving, the esophagus tears
The salt-water venom, the burden it bears
Internal corrosion, the lining is shredded
The feast of the hollow, the path that we dreaded

Erupting the iron, the copper, the bile!
The ocean is screaming for mile after mile!
Silence the rhythm, the system is dead!
