A Thesis for the Mighty Deep

Some men fight for charity

Some to save their youth

Some men fight for pride

Against an evil brood

Some men wish for safety

Far from foreign shores

While some men live and die

By the blade of their own sword

 

And while we waste the days at sea

Alone and unafraid

And long times from our lives and homes

We often tend to stay

 

The claim is always righteous

The innocent to save

And while men stand on walls at night

Some sleep in the shadows wake.

 

And Neptune mighty, king alas

Send fair winds and following seas

And guide onto familiar shores

Those that choose to ride with me.

 

I dont mean to deceive you, men

I aim to misbehave

For those who stand fast, I intend

To place you in harm's way.

 

So make your peace to the deep

And Davy Jones be kind

Let your waters run swift and true

Leave no man left behind
