Blood in the water, and no one minding the ferry
Tentacles reached out of the wave as we strode aboard
So we amused ourselves by dicing them, right swift and merry
Show me a monster, and I’ll show ye an ox to be gored

Into the daily fray of scorn and noise
Into the dark nightmare of many a mad ruler’s dream
I charge, seeking to forge a life of achievements and joys
But seem to taste far more blood (mine!) than cream

’Tis not the dragon’s scales I demand
Nor vampire’s fangs, or unicorn’s long hair
For I have felt the touch of an elf queen’s hand
And have drunk the tears she shed in despair
