Shadow of the Deep

Two giants meet upon the deep,
Where shadows of the fathoms sleep,
The ship looms vast with sails furled,
The whale, a wonder of the world.

Each fears the other’s sudden might,
Beneath the moon’s unyielding light,
So sailors pray, and leviathans flee,
For all must bow to the dark, dark sea.
