Literature Text

In the world of Cthulhu
The kraken devours the sunken ones
The sirens lure the sailors
No use of canons nor guns

Tentacles reaching to the sky
Crashing down hard like whips
Fog encloses the rocky spines
Darkness formed by a total eclipse

Poseidon rules the tides
Waves and winds, storms and flow
Only for the brave to encounter
Or thy fools be given a good show

Whirlpools and blizzards
Thunder and lightning fill the sky
Waves bigger than most mountains
A thousand ways to die

Urban legends or folklore
Blackbeard, Davy Jones' locker
The lost city of Atlantis
All to be true or a way of shocker

Tales of monsters and myths
Moby Dick, Jonah and the whale
Triton and other leviathans
Pirates with swords and ale

Oceans filled with gold
With undiscovered creatures
Hidden secrets and history
Maps to misty island treasures

Travelers in time throughout
Sailing the seas to every corner
Discovery of new lands and spices
Bringing the new world order

The mighty norsemen, vikings
Plundering, raping and burning
Discovering lands like America
Yet Columbus gets the honouring

James Cook and Marco Polo
The VOC versus the royal navy
Trading with words or wars
They all fought for the gravy

These wars were fought upon and under
Fallen heroes, their stories untold
The deep burroughs its own treasures
Monstrous cruel acts to behold

The seven seas, oh so mythical
With all their beauty, though so uncontrollable
The mighty oceans, oh so vulnerable
Yet not all discovered, still so mystical
