Demon from the abyss, clothed in angelic white

Mesmerising every soul, as a milk-white opal Opening its crooked jaw, showing the void within Birthed from fire and lust, in the bitter waters Yet, by its breath, it filters pale light from darkness Demon from the abyss, now clothed in angelic white Imprinted with hieroglyphics and astral signs Concealed by the fathomless waves from every eye Killing every pearly soul, binding every star Inspired by the sperm whale from the famous book Moby-Dick (whom the book is named after), and the sea giant from Manichaean cosmology.
