Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He wears a shark jaw as a helmet
He counts his kills in teeth
He doesn't paddle, he just walks out
And waits beneath the reef
The dust parts around his footsteps
The sun hides behind his crown
When he raises his axe to the horizon
That's hammerhead sundown
[Chorus]
Hammerhead sundown / The tide runs red
Hammerhead sundown / The quick are dead
He doesn't need a wave to ride
He just opens his jaw wide
And swallows the whole damn tide
[Verse 2]
He carved his board from a tombstone
The epitaph says "Too Late"
He sharpens his axe on a wishbone
And lets the red tide wait
The crew follows at a distance
They know what he'll leave behind
Just scraps of bone and a single fin
Carved from a fractured mind
[Chorus]
Hammerhead sundown / The tide runs red
Hammerhead sundown / The quick are dead
He doesn't need a wave to ride
He just opens his jaw wide
And swallows the whole damn tide
[Guitar solo] – [Single-note line, slow and side-to-side, mimicking a shark fin's movement.][Doubles in speed halfway through, then falls apart into noise.]
[Outro - sung low]
Hammerhead... hammerhead...
The sun is down... the tide is fed...
[spoken:] Sleep with one eye open.
