With Hope

Though the waves pound the ship, we can’t let goAnd sadly we’ve lost our seafaring chartThe fog obstructing the end and the startBut we must keep on with this steady row.

We have already lost all our cargoHaving nothing, wishing for a restartA sea serpent we can’t seem to outsmartVenomous teeth stabbing through our ship’s bow.

It's red eyes have a truly piercing glowOur attacks bounce of it's hide like a dartBut I still fire, it won’t tear us apartIt’s black scaly skin protects it’s torso.The moon’s light is blocked by it's huge shadowAnd it feels as though hope has left my heartBut I look on towards you, my sweetheartI will protect you, that is all I know.
