Man o' mine, bravest o’ sailors, singing sea shanties with death, he wades through icy glaciers, o’ the frostiest breath. Cling to vein and steady this vessel, doldrum this destine my love, Jonah, thy mustn't wrestle, with the goddess above.

"Signal! Raise the alarm bells, For rebels sink below the swells! Watchmen! Let the rebels know, Sin creates the Undertow." Against the Enemy's death throes, The Justifier, winnows! "I will shakedown your whole world, And sin and shame will be hurled!" Just then He got my attention, Having lost my inhibition, Never a fan of prohibition, Never a feeling of contrition. "The Tavern of the Nations, Come, partake...
