Lyrics

Look in the distance beyond the castle gates
The armies of the damned have come
On the horizon they gather beneath the blood red sun

A thousand warriors, demons and orcs
Charging like a tornado
But they will never know
That their death awaits in waves below

Release the Kraken (hey guys)
The tolling of the iron bell
Release the Kraken (I’m the Kraken)
Rising from the depths of hell

Out on the battlefield, the armies collide
And hundreds die where they stand
In screaming agony, the shadow of war across the land
All across the land

Now let’s end the fight, it’s time to decide
Whose blood will finally be spilled
Our secret weapon, a specter of hate who’s born to kill
He was born to kill

Release the Kraken (I’m in a song!)
A creature of Satanic rage
Release the Kraken (who wants sandwiches?)
Bursting from its sunken cave

Release the Kraken (ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding)
Impervious to sword and bow
Release the Kraken (I’ve got a splinter)
Death incarnate from below

Release the Kraken (Oops! I falled over)
All shall drown in his domain
Release the Kraken (splishy splashy)
The harbinger of fear and pain

[kush]

Dan: LEAVE NOTHING BUT CORPSES
Kraken: SpLiShY sPlAsHy

[rockhellien]

Every time I listen to this badass song I like to think that Danny intentionally meant for it to be as epic as it sounds, and then Ninja Brian just recorded the Kracken parts in when everyone was out for lunch just to be a huge troll.

[guywithaguitar]

That Kraken is probably a really great dad.

[TheDuke]

This song was a real trip watching Live in Oslo. When Brian ran out on stage with an octopus plushie hat and a t-shirt that had "Let's get Kracin" written on it the crowd went absolutely ballistic

[brassbandit]

I like that the animator remembered that Danny is left handed

[aviasegel]

2:11 A ninja with a PhD punches a manticore with a PhD under the shadow of a kraken with a PhD.

[invictus]

"Our secret weapon, a specter of hate, he was born to kill!"

"And you've got a Kraken to back Ninja Brian up"

[McDoobis]

"Oops, I falled over!"

Kills me every time

[ronanhiggz]

Shame Ninja Brian couldn't make it. At least they got his cousin, Pirate Brian.

[zynexion]

"hey I found a bell!"
"Release the kraken!"
"DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!!!!"

[mediocreandworse]

That kraken sounds smart enough to have a PhD

[josephschultz]

Dan: "Hey, Brian? Wanna just do a song where you just have fun and deliver nothing but silly spoken-word lines?"


Brian: "Absolutely, yes. Of course. Definitely."

[Berzerkarin]

I feel like this is what dnd with Danny was like back in the day

[TheIrishDino]

Plot Twist:

Audrey is controlling the Kraken.

[TechnoScorpion]

I identify with the Kraken:
Receives praise for being himself.
Wants to be loved by everyone.
Does his best 100% of the time.



Contributes nothing to society.

[musikbox]

I don't care what anyone else says, this song is the Official song of the Seattle Kraken, lol

[CreepsMcPasta]

I couldn't believe the incredible performance of The Kraken so I checked the description

So nice you guys got the official Kraken to take on the role.

[MrDemarius]

Anyone else kinda get the vibe that the Kraken might have a PhD?

[EthanSchmethan]

“Oops I falled over!” Says the Kraken with a PhD

[galiad_exe]

No one's gonna point out that Dan at the beginning literally just had a Bone Throne?
