Den Ensomme Nordens Dronning

Sleep, oh Majesty surrounded by massive darkness

Her skin torn apart by sub-zero claws

Buried deep in thy ice dungeon

Sleep, oh Majesty, Lonely Queen of the North

'Eternal Father, strong to save

Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,

Who biddest the mighty ocean deep

Its own appointed limits keep;

Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,

For those in peril on the sea!'

[The Navy Hymn]

The huntress from the land of Magog

manacles on her seabed

Mauled in the deep she waits

for the Czar of Mesech and Tubal

The blood of the 118 drips

from her glowering gaping mouth

She patiently bears suffering in the Barents abyss

'Eternal Father, strong to save...

K-141 headed north for a Russian naval victory

Armed with 24 "Granit"

she prowls through the Barents Sea

118 hearts beat as one when Kursk submerges

from the mighty ocean depths

She is the bride of Gog, a post-Soviet Czarina

The Czardom's silver bow,

CzArtemis leads a fleet in bloom

Drunk with exuberance she arrogates the briny deep

Invulnerable became funereal

after insubordination and sabotage!

A deathly blow from within, the assassin assassinated

Now 117 men must die for

Der Dolchstoss of one Judas Ephialtes

In a solitude of the sea

Deep from human vanity,

And the Pride of Life that planned her,

stilly couches she.

Steel chambers, late the pyres

Of her salamandrine fires,

Cold currents thrid, and turn

to rhythmic tidal lyres.

Till the Spinner of the Years

Said 'Now!' And each one hears,

And consummation comes,

and jars two hemispheres.

Over the missiles meant

To smite the opponent

The sea-worm crawls

grotesque, slimed,

dumb, (and) indifferent.

And now the Queen and Antaeus lie dead

The twain forever converged on the seabed

'Eternal Father, strong to save...

"Curse the sun, and all that's holy

Turn back, I dwell around

Come to me, as a shadow

Engrave the sun, with the blackest moon (shadow) "
