The Whale
I’m scared to even look this much to you I’ll tell
I saw the the devil walking there out on top of the whale
Crawling towards me I let out a scream
His fingers grew at astonishing speed
They wrapped around my feet and pulled me down
It waits for you in rooms of which you never dwell
The cold will numb your will to live and leave you a shell
He called to my attention the looming gloom of death
The fire was so hot I could barely catch my breath
The devil’s mouth well it opens up the words come tumbling out
Impending doom is all around you in every inch of this house
I heard him singing the strangest tune
Out in the storm saw him transform before my eyes into a ram
The sight alone I feared would leave me damned
Above the whale I saw stormy seas through a cloudy thick black veil
I prayed to god that I would make it home and prevail
Out in the distance I saw him jumping wave to wave like it was solid ground
As two ships passed in the night without making a sound
