My Story Will Never Be Told
The ship was yawing and straining
You could hear the timbers groan
The sea was a menace raging
Is this where we lose control?
The dark was falling over
The stars were looking down
The hissing and the spraying
Made me lose my feet from their grounds
I saw the eye of something
Roaring at our bow
The ship was battling over
The sea, the beast, the rage
People dying all around me
I will never forget the sound
A rope found held me tightly
The beast saw right through me
It's huge eye focused on my pitiful soul
Then the eye disappeared before me
As it sank into the great unknown
You could hear the beast moving
In the dark depths below
Was it waiting to completely
Remove me from this life as I had known?
The waves calmed the sea before me
To a graceful ebb and flow
Now stranded alone in the cold, dark sea
My story will never be told.
