Ahab

We looked at one another
Through the smoke
Through the growing dark
May the devil take the hindmost

Aye - an unseen thing stood
And cried upon the decks
Through planks ofgroaning wood
Right above our heads
Right above our heads
And scrubbed at the woodwork

Now take the pipe right from your mouth!
At utmost tension - listen! Crouch!
Be aware of horrid powers!
Few moments seem like endless hours

With sheer destructiove urge
A many - flapped thing strives
The Thing That Made Search
Like Raw flesh - but it was alive

Secure the fastenings, aye!
Brace yourself!
There's none to it than meets the eye

With sheer destructiove urge
A many - flapped thing strives
The Thing That Made Search
Like Raw flesh - but it was alive

Secure the fastenings, aye!
Brace yourself!
There's none to it than meets the eye
