about

Megalodon is regarded as one of the largest and most powerful predator bands in vertebrate rock history, and likely had a profound impact on the structure of marine rock. Primative recordings suggest that this giant shark rock band reached a maximum awesomeness. The Megalodon showing in Spin Tunes 11 was that of a mitsukurina. We were bested by the Jailhouse Payback, we hope they comeback to defend their title. Sharks always move forward, especially big and mighty sharks. Looking forward to the hunt.

lyrics

End of days, just amazed at where the journey led
Far from home, all alone with no way back again
The tales they told, worn out and old, they are all emptied out
The way ahead you chose instead, better without a doubt

Just when you thought you'd seen it all
Welcome to the something new
You don't know just what you must have fallen into

Standing on a ledge
Right on the edge
Of the only world you've ever known
You're watching last light
Fade out of sight
Over an ocean yet unknown

It wasn't you, but Balboa who first took this vista in
But just the same you gave your name to this new reckoning
A tiny tomb that rubber room where you spent all your time
A kaleidoscope of familiar tropes hiding the sublime

Just when you knew nothing at all
Beckoned into fading blue
You can't think much when paying such over-dues

Standing on a ledge
Right on the edge
Of the only world you've ever known
You're watching last light
Fade out of sight
Over an ocean yet unknown

just when you see with clarity
the light might fly from you
the watcher of the skies can close his eyes for a few

Standing on a ledge
Right on the edge
Of the only world you've ever known
You're watching last light
Fade out of sight
Over an ocean yet unknown
