Man O' War

Man O' War

Man O' war indomitable ship
Flounder in squall clip
Perilous on murky night
Petition for beacon bright

Storm brew typhoon amass
Waters foul for thee to pass
Safe harbor mariner’s prayer
Solace tis not easy to spare

Coldhearted restless sea
Fathoms cast no mercy
Wayward sailors take heed
Shipwreck ye solemn creed

Yonder espy guidepost light
Brackish bane lambent site
Escort thee safely afar
Brilliant 'neath covert star

Really loved this xxx
