The Eye of the Sea - Part 6
Continued from The Eye of the Sea part 5
There washed ashore the Devil’s Whore,
Who had three times been paid,
Preserved through Sin and worshippin’
Beelzebub and the grave.
With many a cheer he’d drunk all our beer,
He’d finished off most of our weed,
We witnessed in silence this story of violence
And fury had sowed its seed.
As he finished his tale he turned rather pale,
For he noticed the swords that we held,
Unsheathed and steadily wielded and ready,
For the act that we all felt compelled.
Yet none took the lead in this, ‘merciful,’ deed
All scared to touch Lucifer’s Bride,
‘Til a preacher we knew explained what to do,
So we burnt the poor bastard alive!
And,
On the Island of Flowers, where the days pass like hours,
In a silent, secluded cavern,
Two sailors discussed their betrayal of trust,
Whilst polishing a Crystal Galleon.
O’Leary said to Griffin, “D’ya think he’s really coming?
To, ‘hunt us down like dogs,’ and take us in?”
“If he comes back, I think, he’ll prob’ly buy us a drink,
For finding this bloody damn ship!”
