Neonate

You're free from your womb now

But this maternity ward is a feeding ground

Don't look back for ages

Your mother's toothy smile can smell you for miles

You too will eat your young

You too will eat your young

Consume all that crosses your path

Each morsel may be your last

Never cling like the remora

To those you spawned you in the past

You too will eat your young

When there's only enough for one

In times of need this must be done

From womb to gut it has begun

Eat your young

The songs of giants lure you

Will you follow

Their scents of gluttony tempt you

Will you follow

Energy is precious and journey long

Feed now and breed again

The birth is food

Now feed on

Tides pull and convince

Their direction is the best

Waves hide all that lies

Well beyond their crest

You too will eat your young

From womb to gut it has begun

Eat your young
