I am the deadly sea
As my waves pound away
I suggest if you want to sail
You pick a peaceful day
Don’t try to sail at night
Because you may not succeed
When I get done with you
Help, is what you’ll need
I’ll toss your boat like a toy
I’ll snap it like a twig
If you want to do battle with me
Deep inside you’ll have to dig
You’ll need to find the courage
To fight in the dark and cold
Once I grab onto your boat
I’ll not let go of my hold
The cold will be bone chilling
The dark, as dark can be
Though you’re not able to see
For sure you’ll feel the wrath of me
Some of you may even die
Others may wish they were dead
Because you encountered me tonight
I will forever live in your head
It’s not that I am mean
That’s not what I want to be
Just like others before you have learned
Terror can quickly strike on the sea
