A hollow place

An empty face

Cold and broken

A sad token

Of a ship wrecked past

Run, and run away fast.

A haunting melody

Floats about the surrounding sea

Calling those who dare

To the ruins there

Do not go near

Run in fear.

Nothing awaits you here

Malevolent ghost in the clear

Rip your throat out

Even as you try to shout

Good luck getting away

You could not stray.

Crazed laughter

Comes after

Filling the hollow place

After your suicidal race

Across the bloodstained sand

Comes to a deadly stand

One sailor's curse after another

In death they are brothers

Never to see light again

Darkness in the end

Another body added to the count

Another head added to the mount

I told you to run.
