The Battle (Excerpt)

Five days out on an infinite sea
They prayed for calm on an ocean free
But the surface of the water
Was indicating some disturbance

The raft was hurled by an unseen source
Two hundred feet with a frightening force
And a dark mass rising showed to be a giant porpoise

Rising out of the angry sea
Towered the creatures enemy
And so the two sea monsters closed for battle

Crocodile teeth, lizard's head
Bloodshot eye, stained ocean red
Battle won, a victor's pride
The three men thanked the Lord and cried
"Save me, save me, save me, save me"

Save me
Save me
Save me

Serpent's fight went on for hours
Two monsters soaring up my towers
And diving down to the depths in a single motion

Suddenly the serpent's head
Shot out of the water bathed in red
And the serpentine form lay lifeless on the ocean

Crocodile teeth, lizard's head
Bloodshot eye stained ocean read
Battle won, a victor's pride
The three men thanked the Lord and cried
"Praise God, praise God, praise God, praise God"
