#it’s how it’s spelt in the official lyrics lol

bringing this back to say I actually do believe that this is supposed to be Offdensen’s singing voice lol

Like the opener to Doomstar Requiem -> “The whales, they chant a constant warning—They keep singing, and repeating: One of Us must Die! One of Us must Die!” ; The Ocean Galaktik has a similar premise.

he’s not the only voice singing throughout The Ocean Galaktik, but how I’ve worked it out in my head is like: this song still takes place at Ishnifus’s funeral, with Charles assuming this new role as high priest in wake of his death, and recalling whatever wisdoms he’d been told, he contemplates the prophecy and relays wisdoms as advice to Dethklok, which is what he’s doing here in that video.

The lyrics immediately before this kind of set the stage

At first I figured “treasonous mariners” had to refer to the fans, but in the end I settled on the conclusion that it could only mean Dethklok, because they’re referred to as captains/piloting a ship throughout the album. I have theories on why they’re being called treasonous, but for this post I’ll summarize it by just saying that I believe Charles is simply identifying where they’re currently at in the prophecy’s timeline; following Nathan’s betrayal of Pickles, the band’s (perceived) betrayal of Magnus, and Murderface’s betrayal to come.

I love how you can do this with Galaktikon
