Conquer the Straits - Stormtide

You’ve lied to us, captain

You’ve not put back north

For home, as you said last time

If we keep on our course

Then all will be lost

You lead us to pass through the straits?

The wind, the spray was relentless

The captain mirrored the sea

Buffeting gales, pushed them westward

A roar from the captain

A man without fear

Mutiny here will not stand

As quick as a fox

He hurled the usurper

To sea, to think over his crimes

This voyage must last

For the prince has a task

A dark, ancient evil awaits

We must now conquer the straits

Three days in the tempest

It behested, not bested

The men who would die

For their prince

Storm break, lights bathed down

Reprisal from the fight

Take a look, you bloody sea rats

The straits are in sights

Dead starboard came great dark shapes

Giant monoliths of stone and black ice

Above boiled clouds, dark, thundery shrouds

Ocean twisters, touched lightning that fell

Ah, don’t you love it — the bite of the wind

The notion we might not survive

A cackle of laughter

The captain, the bastard

Greets death with a grin

Rising, still rising, for what seemed like days

A mammoth dark wave

Breached tumultuously out watery graves

Out watery graves

Down to the ground

With a fierce, cracking sound

Went the captain in front of the prince

Their eyes met in union

And both felt the spark

Men who knew what it was to face death

Mad laughter came next

From both of them

They entered an instinct won trance

Like a demonic dance

They fenced with the sea gods intent

Every sense was on fire

Then suddenly clear skies shone
