"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
