Bahamut

Well, Bohemoth calls us his own

While Bahamut wanders alone

They both go out to play

On that cold and rainy day

And Bohemoth sings us his song

While Bahamut wanders along

But in the glory of this spring

You can hear Bahamut sing

Whoa-ho-ho

Are you as big as me?

Whoa-ho-ho-ho

Way too big to see

Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho

Bahamut he goes so slow

Whoa-ho-ho-ho

Too big a place to go

(Solos)

(Spoken)

The entire known universe floats suspended in a thin silver bowl

Which rocks gently on the back of an immense blue-green tortuga

And the tortuga's scaly feet are firmly placed on the topmost of seven craggy mountains

Which arise from a vast and arid plain of drifting, fetid, yellow dust

And the plain is balanced precariously on top of a small thin green acacia tree?

Which grows from the snout of a giant blood red ox

With 50 eyes that breathes flame

The color of the midnight sky

And the ox's hooves are firmly placed on the single grain of sand

Which floats in the eye of Bahamut like a mote of dust

No one has ever seen Bahamut

Some think it's a fish

Some think it's a newt

All we know is that the lonely Bahamut floats endlessly through all time and all space

With all of us and everything floating in a single tear of his eye

(Solos)

Well, Bohemoth calls us his own

While Bahamut wanders alone

When they both go out to play

On that cold and rainy day

And Bohemoth sings us his song

While Bahamut wanders alone

But in the glory of their fall

You can hear Bahamut call

Whoa-ho-ho

Are you as big as me?

Whoa-ho-ho-ho

Way too big to see

Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho

Bahamut he goes so slow

Whoa-ho-ho-ho

Too big a place to go
