deadly waters

a ship frozen over in the swarming sea of Cocytus This ship half way deep 

in the swirling crimson sea, frothed with snowflaked petals and murderous icicles protecting its core, a ruby scepter splitting through the earthen crevasses. A woman fully clothed in a sheet of ice, white roses adorned her head, her lips tinted red from the warmth received from the suns hospitality and eyes tucked to sleep she was stored underneath the boat a sleeping siren, she held in her hands a wooden cross weaving in out of her opaque hands , a sweet song churned through the waves of the lonely sea 

mistrusting eyes 

a gallant giggle 

a ghostly whisper, a daunting howl 

a scar slashed through an old man scowl 

a crew man's whistle 

brooding breast 

daughters of the ocean

a dagger dipped in warm blood 

a pirates booty 

a lady in waiting

Whistles to creaking floorboards of the ship

That burped through the waters

What happened to this ship that fell asleep in the arctic ocean

In the year of 1716

It was a stormy night the wind howled, the sky was a bruised purple it bleed a deeper red, the clouds a midnight black mixed with gray, the moon a stranger dancing in between the cracks of the sky, the air cold and thick and dragged out like cigars, the ocean shook with anger from the beating it was enduring from a wild captain named crossbones , a scar slashed upon an old man's scowl , he raped and pillage the sea of its earthenware riches , he and his crew traveled through each land gathering up the booty ( treasure of the land) and leaving the land naked and unearthed they were looking for the maiden encased in ice, the ocean daughter that held all the riches of the world . The ocean grew hungry tired and angry lurking around the corner for my trespassers to devour, now the earth had conversed with the ocean and had told the ocean about this crew that pillaged the earth of her beauty and her riches and her people were hungry and the ocean had told her about the crew that killed her sirens, and turned her waters a crimson red , her water wallowed murder and sin floated with bones of the lost crew of evermore 

they wandered her wanders and built dams to link the ocean with her rivers and lakes that she birthed, but they died in her hurricane that she created to cleanse herself of its residue of the wreckage that burned her waters with fire and anger 

the ocean encased the dead 

the suicidals 

the murders 

the slaves 

the adventures 

the nobles 

children 

and 

her 

daughters 

her 

dear 

sirens 

the ocean was lonely and craved the taste of human flesh 

the ocean craved specifically cross bone and his crew 

the ocean conquered and devoured 

now her daughters 

sing at the entrance of ocean 

 The dead walked out of the sea ( repeat 5x's )

if you  hold the key ye shall be free 

take a knee 

and surrender to the sea 

or flee

beg mercy 

and ye shall 

see 

the

ocean 

is 

for 

men 

not 

little 

boys 

brave

the deadly 

waters 

and 

embrace 

her 

current
