[Verse 1]
In the days of old when giants roamed,
There is a shadow in the blue with a mysterious glow,
Still like a mystery, older than the stars,
Ancient hearts move through the vast ocean.
[Pre-Chorus]
They called you a fossil, called you a myth on a museum shelf,
Then the ocean opened and sang your name again.
[Chorus]
coelacanth, rise up high,
With a heart of thunder and a spirit to fly,
In the face of trials, we will not bend,
Together we conquer, we stand 'til the end.
[Verse 2]
You move as if you were remembering continents that drifted,
old fins like cards that have never learned to fade.
A museum sign next to your name, where silence sleeps,
A heartbeat from the deep sea, steady, almost mystical.
[Pre-Chorus]
In your order of coelacanth, nine out of ten families have died out,
But these old souls from forgotten times come to life again!
[Chorus]
coelacanth, rise up high,
With a heart of thunder and a spirit to fly,
In the face of trials, we will not bend,
Together we conquer, we stand 'til the end.
[Bridge]
Under the stars, as the night unfolds,
The stories of his bravery are lovingly told,
From the whispers of the ancients to the legends.....
[*Instrumental Solo*]
[Pre-Chorus]

Laugiidae (death!)
Whiteiidae (death!)
Rebellatricidae (death!)
Mawsoniidae (death!)
Latimeriidae (our family of heroes!)
[Chorus]
coelacanth, rise up high,
With a heart of thunder and a spirit to fly,
In the face of trials, we will not bend,
Together we conquer, we stand 'til the end.
[End]
So let us march with our heads held high,
coelacanth, let the legend dance and sing day and night!
