Icy blows of the violent sea.
Wind bellows in the dark.
The storm, ultimate end of purifying,
there, where the devil dwells in the sand.
The calm shows the horror.
Where a crewman disappeared.
Night after night, it comes out of the wooden case,
where the devil hunts in the wreck.
It feeds on blood.
It is soaked from souls.
It discards of the bodies.
At dawn, it returns to the sand.
The light dissipates in the fog.
In daytime, Insomnia of terror.
The silent floating crypt, isolated.
The demon has been vitalized.
In the immensity of the sea, the blood and the sand.
The confession in the bottle, only
witness of unmentionable tales.
The dragon has spread its wings.
It feeds on blood.
It is soaked from souls.
It discards of the bodies.
At dawn, it returns to the sand.
