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.
