Warned explicitly of the terror
Disregard the scrutinous cowards
This horror has plagued us eternal
In darkness we’ll end its ghastly reign
Out to the sea, therein lies terror
From bow to stern, all brave men
FEARLESS!
Out from the deep, the nightmare strikes out
A score overboard, lost to the storm’s grip
SCREAMING!
ROW!
Fearless we strike, cleave limb and smite
Wounded beast, arm the ballista
FIRE!
The bolt sprung forward and pierced the beast’s heart
Our ship damaged beyond any hope of repair
Although we full well may perish before dawn’s rescue
This inexplicable horror, it dies, it dies with us
