As the mist gathers around me
And the waves rage below deck
I look forward into the foggy sea
To which I am but a future-wreck
I glance behind, at my loyal crew
***** and ugly, fearless and brave
I think to all we've been through
And to how much we still crave
Our ship heads into the night
Countless screams echo around
Trying to instill fear and fright
Do they really think that will keep us down?
Innumerable beasts slumber
Looking at us with sharp eyes
From here, I can feel their hunger
But they're just a consolation prize
My sights are set much higher
To an immortal reward far too grand
Entombed in a land far too dire
Even so, I can almost feel it in my hand
Whether I live or die, who knows
I do not care for such petty things
For when the night gives its final throes
I shall be there, with honor befitting a king's
When the sun glows with its first shine
I shall rise, and this world shall be mine!
