The monster has awakened
Emerging from the blackest depths with hunger obscene
No inclinations divine could ever beget
This unearthly duality of flesh and machine
Obey
The tyrant wills it so
Abandon all your hope and perish
Our puny arrows rendered useless
Spears shatter off its steel hide
From its mouth issues a vile shriek
Which echoes through our frayed minds
Its acid breath melts through the deck
My men throw themselves off either side
Human detritus in the water
Soon to join their friends beneath the tides
Obey
The fates, they will it so
Abandon all your hope and perish
Steel yourselves or perish
Steel yourselves or perish now!
The cries of my men surround me
The beast comes to reap its grim reward
Exploiting our fruits of folly
Devouring us one by one
Facing the maw of the serpent
Accepting my fate, I’ll join my friends
The cause of their fate apparent now
But too slow were we to comprehend

I found my calling in the deep
A sacred promise I shall keep
From the depths long forgotten
I will take up the shield and sword
I will face the Tyrant’s hordes
End the war he has begotten
The gift of life came from the sea
Breathed into us clay figurines
I must return the favor
Feeling the Goddess shaping me
So I may destroy her enemies
Becoming something greater
The world at the mercy of my sword
I undertake this vow to go forth
I become the slayer of a thousand red-eyed serpents
I am the chosen one to save us all
So as the oceans rage
And as the Tyrant reigns
I undergo the change
I close my eyes and wait
Her magic through my veins
I feel it take hold
Bequeathed the gift to draw breath underwater
My right arm traded for a tasseled sword
The body honed to aquatic precision
A trinity of machine, man, and god, made for war
The ocean floor trembles with my arrival
I point my sword at the ground below
Caretakers rise from blackest of trenches
Armed to the teeth and ready to go
Slay them all, tyrants fall
Mount up on your steeds and charge
Go!
The world at the mercy of my sword
I undertake this vow to go forth
I have found my place between the cosmos and the roaring sea
I am the chosen one and resurrector of the gods
Rising from clay, born of the sea
Imbued with magic, divine energy
Caretakers rise, bend to my call
I am triumphant, for one, for all
This war shall end by my sacred hand
Strike the blow for humankind
Peace throughout the land
