Icy Monster Under the Waves

Running down shadowed passageway, Entrance ahead, Rolling ships bulkhead stirring the dead within, Winters grasp grips steely hull, Icy whispers drift within, Running down shadowed passageway, Entrance dead ahead, Sailors scream in dread, As Death looms from under, The Beast that sleeps under icy waves, Looms overhead, Tentacles raining icy torrents of destruction from above,…
