Ears for Eyes - The Somber Hell of Ishmael

Ishmael looks out onto an unresting sea
A trail of darkened blood ebbing out from his bare feet
He looks down at his shattered watch and yet he still knows it's time
Lighting strikes the forward mast
The crew's washed out, the tide has passed
A great white mass moves into the sky
The captain's ready to die
Ishmael listens for a sign from the waves
Left with the somber knowledge a sole man remains
Around him, remains of a vessel once steadfast and strong
A necklace cast into the sea
Pride, the captain's enemy
All washed away, Ishmael knows
Hell's not a place down below
