The Leviathan

(Verse 1)
The Sovereign stood tall with her hundred of guns,
The pride of the empire, the greatest of sons.
But looming to windward, the Leviathan came,
With a hull black as midnight and spirits of flame.
The gun-ports they hammered, the white foam it flew,
As the distance was closed by a blood-thirsty crew.
(Chorus)
Oh, roar, ye great cannons, and shatter the sky!
For today is the day that the iron will fly!
Between the two giants, the ocean will groan,
And the king of the water will sit on his throne!
(Verse 2)
The first broadside thundered, a deafening gale,
It tore through the rigging and shredded the sail.
The Sovereign reeled from the weight of the lead,
While the scuppers ran crimson with stains of the dead.
But she answered in kind with a flame-belching roar,
That splintered the Leviathan’s oak to the core!
(Chorus)
Oh, roar, ye great cannons, and shatter the sky!
For today is the day that the iron will fly!
Between the two giants, the ocean will groan,
And the king of the water will sit on his throne!
(Verse 3)
The mainmast is falling, a mountain of pine,
As the grappling hooks fly o’er the churning of brine!
Through smoke and through sulfur, the steel meets the bone,
In a graveyard of timber where mercy’s unknown.
The Sovereign is sinking, her hull is a sieve,
But the Leviathan’s burning with nothing to give!
(Chorus)
Oh, roar, ye great cannons, and shatter the sky!
For today is the day that the iron will fly!
Between the two giants, the ocean will groan,
And the king of the water will sit on his throne
