No one lives on the black sand shore, Not a soul makes home there anymore. For there is no peace, In the land of coal dust. Evil seeps even into the ocean, Where 'Purity' once harbored. What still stands, Is the gastral rocks gutting through the banks, Constructing spires to hide, A skeleton ship parked in ruins of the beachside. The old SS Purity, Sent to save those on lonely shores, From the devil and his kin. Though now it's the Devil's flag, that hangs half mast, On the poles of purity. Don't come too close my boy, They say it draws you in with soulless cries, Once you're in the belly of the beast, There's no hope of escape, Don't repeat my old sailor's fate

Remains Of The 'Purity'
No one lives on the black sand shore, Not a soul makes home there anymore. For there is no peace, In the land of coal dust. Evil seeps even into the ocean, Where 'Purity' once harbored. What still stands, Is the gastral rocks gutting through the banks, Constructing spires to hide, A skeleton ship parked in ruins of the beachside. The old SS Purity, Sent to save those on lonely shores, From the devil and his kin. Though now it's the Devil's flag, that hangs half mast, On the poles of purity. Don't come too close my boy, They say it draws you in with soulless cries, Once you're in the belly of the beast, There's no hope of escape, Don't repeat my old sailor's fate
Another sea story, they're too mystical to not write.
