Kraken

"Death's gaze ever present on it's tentacles

A weight of power unformidable

Crashing down upon its victims"

 

 

Beware the Kraken! A monster of seas

The one sung about in many shanties

Marauding, ripping, and crushing its victims

This a myth by which the crew schisms

But the unsteady seas beneath the hull

Bubbling and boiling, the ocean calls

Unleashing from the bowels of the deep

A beast of lost worlds, oceans it reaps

The Kraken, awaken, outstretches it limbs

The skies are blackened, the heavens dim

With tyrannical force he unfurls his power

The mast snaps, wood shards and splinters shower

Fearful men aboard are pulled to a watery grave

Oceanic law, for this crew of knaves

The last aboard the teetering deck

A captain standing tall within the wreck

Howling at the beast below

Again tentacles high above the sea grow

Dragging the wreckage into the water

Appeasing the beast, the great destroyer
