Spicy Calamari Inkantation (Extended Lyrics) - Splatoon 3: GRAND FESTIVAL

It took a while, but here's my lyrics for (Spicy) Calamari Inkantation! Heavily inspired by Alterna lore because Alterna lore is peak. Honestly, 'Spicy' used to be my least favorite version of Calamari Inkantation, and it still probably is because the OG is peak and 3MIX feels more climactic, but this is a great rendition of it. Also, DJ Octavio and Callie being besties my beloved Team Past Playlist:    • Team Past Lyrics   Team Present Playlist:    • Team Present Lyrics   Team Future Playlist:    • Team Future Lyrics   Lyrics: From the sea we came, The wish to see the land Bellows from the depths of our hearts! And now the sea, it brings us what we need- We give thanks to the tides, And we sing a song of cheer in harmony! Light surfacing… Shining- shining- A bright future sings, Heavenly melody! A wish old as time, My desire to reach up to the sky! Please surface from within! This! Soul! From the sea we came, The wish to see the land Bellows from the depths of our hearts! And now the sea, it brings us what we need- We give thanks to the tides, And we sing this song from within, it is our plea! To reach! The sky! A new life waits above! So fight! For our right to survive! Break through! The mold! I cry out to the heavens, Please ascend my old soul! And allow me to the world waiting above! (From the sea we came, The wish to see the land Bellows from the depths of our hearts… From the land we sing, In honor of the past we shared, Our era will stand strong…) (x2) Ha! (x8) “What’d you all think of that?!” “It’s been a while since we performed this one!” “Hey, is that DJ Octavio over there?! HIIII!!!” “I suppose Grand Fest is bringing everyone out.” “Then we better make this our best performance!” “Ready?! GOOO!!!” Our shared history… This life once belonged to more than the sea, Living through us now… Through conflict and strife, We made our way up to the surface- And reformed life into some! Thing! New! From the land we sing A song to reach those in the dark, Life has much more to offer! Show me- Your skill! Show me your talent! And let it flow through your brush strokes, Let this music free from within your locked heart! This is! Your song! Your art will reach out to! The world! Let it scream from your soul! Break through! The mold! The spice of life awaits you!- Hear this song lost to time, This music will live on through you and me! “We still got it!” “Let’s finish this!” From the sea we came, The wish to see the land Bellows from the depths of our hearts… From the land we sing, In honor of the past we shared, Our era will stand strong… To the sky we aim, A new future awaits this world, Of this shared harmony! Ha! (x20) “Splatsville!!! Thank you!!!” “Shell yeah!”
