Between the devil and the deep sea silhouetted dark and distinct against the night the sirens weep and wail gnash their terrible teeth sailor set sail against bruise colored Skies shit stained eyes cringe at the sight of those blood black smiles the Great Northern seas are terrible and treacherous the captain’s heart heavy and spent reeling Port to bow Stern to starboard when wood meets water Sailors seasick shaken and torn when whiskey meets superstition sailors Sleepless and sorrow worn lost souls huddle deep in the hull faces like devils fearful for their lives clinging to one another as they are pulled down many were saved but most drowned ebb and flow from their dead tongues the sirens call out you’re the only one I’ve ever loved
