Five days out on an infinite sea
They prayed for calm on anocean free
But the surface of the water was indicating
Some disturbance
The raft was hurled by and unseen source
Two hundred feet, with frightening force
And a dark mass rising
Showed to be a giant porpoise
Rising out of the angry sea
Towered the creature's enemy
And so the two sea monstrers
Closed for battle
Crocodile's teeth, lizard's head, bloodshot eye
Stained ocean red
Moving close to their raft's side
The two men prayed as one and cried
Save me, save me, save me, save me
The serpent's fight went on for hours
Two monsters soaring uplike towers
And driving 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's teeth, lizard's head, bloodshot eye
Stained oceanread
Battle won, a victor's pride
The three men tanked the Lord and cried
Praise God, praise God
Praise God, praise God
