The Leviathan from Primal by Everson Poe

we set sail for home from these new lands
for conquest is the only thing we know
this vast expanse of deepest, darkest water
the cost of our destruction waits below

the leviathan brings only death
taking vengeance for those we have wronged
from the ocean's immeasurable depth
it ascends with a deafening song
the sky is as black as our hearts
and the rain can not wash away sin
to bring balance it will claim our souls
was our callousness ever so bold?
with a spear for each of our hands
"take up arms, men" the captain commands
"this beast will not take us so quick
with its blood, the water runs thick!"

we are lost at sea

when we set out to explore, we never expected to find inhabited lands
though the natives were kind, we exploited their ignorance and took all they had
we thought they were savages, but the true savagery rose up from inside of us like bile
we did unspeakable things…things no one should ever have to endure
it was as if we were possessed by some force other than our own wills
i don't expect this to reach you, nor to ever see you again, but please, consider this my sincerest apology

we are lost at sea

the leviathan brings only death
taking vengeance for those we have wronged
from the ocean's immeasurable depth
it ascends with a deafening song
the sky is as black as our hearts
and the rain can not wash away sin
to bring balance it will claim our souls
was our callousness ever so bold?
"take up arms, men" the captain commands
a spear for each of our hands
"this beast will not take us so quick
it will drown in its blood!"
