Sea of doom

Heaven filled with clouds and darkness engulfed the sky

A sense of dread set in and emotions were high 

The air felt uneasy, like death in the atmosphere

Then all of a sudden a thick fog appeared

 

Silence pierced our ears, no sound to be heard

Other than heavy breathing no one said a word

But wind picked up and carried a faint whisper

"I need your help! Help me, dear sailor!

My vessel wrecked, I need a savior..."

 

Me and my men searched for the owner of the voice 

High and low we looked but we had to give up the search

But then a scream erupted from across the deck

One of the men were bleeding from the neck

 

Bites marked his flesh with a scratch across the cheek

Frightened and in pain the man could barely speak

All he saw was a shadow then came a sharp pain 

Still waiting on an explanation when it happened again

A scream accompanied by a splash 

Then a whole symphony screeching followed by the ripping of flesh

 

Chaos followed, it was every man for himself 

The death toll were climbing to twelve 

I needed to find an escape and soon

Or a bloody-watery grave would have been our doom

 

I did what I could but there seemed to be no end

The fog only seemed to continue to expand

Hope was lost and I accepted our fate

But then through the fog pierced a bright light

Civilization was waiting, salvation was in sight

 

To this day it remains a mystery

What could have caused all that death and misery?

Rumours spread of sirens others say the crew went mad

What ever it was it left fifteen of my men dead

 

I'll avenge their deaths one day although, when I can't guarantee

But I'm certain I'll never go back to sea
