|
Sleep, oh Majesty surrounded by massive darkness |
|
Her skin torn apart by sub-zero claws |
|
Buried deep in thy ice dungeon |
|
Sleep, oh Majesty, Lonely Queen of the North |
|
'Eternal Father, strong to save |
|
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, |
|
Who biddest the mighty ocean deep |
|
Its own appointed limits keep; |
|
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, |
|
For those in peril on the sea!' |
|
(The Navy Hymn) |
|
The huntress from the land of Magog |
|
manacles on her seabed |
|
Mauled in the deep she waits |
|
for the Czar of Mesech and Tubal |
|
The blood of the 118 drips |
|
from her glowering gaping mouth |
|
She patiently bears suffering in the Barents abyss |
|
'Eternal Father, strong to save... |
|
K-141 headed north for a Russian naval victory |
|
Armed with 24 "Granit" |
|
she prowls through the Barents Sea |
|
118 hearts beat as one when Kursk submerges |
|
from the mighty ocean depths |
|
She is the bride of Gog, a post-Soviet Czarina |
|
The Czardom's silver bow, |
|
CzArtemis leads a fleet in bloom |
|
Drunk with exuberance she arrogates the briny deep |
|
Invulnerable became funereal |
|
after insubordination and sabotage! |
|
A deathly blow from within, the assassin assassinated |
|
Now 117 men must die for |
|
Der Dolchstoss of one Judas Ephialtes |
|
In a solitude of the sea |
|
Deep from human vanity, |
|
And the Pride of Life that planned her, |
|
stilly couches she. |
|
Steel chambers, late the pyres |
|
Of her salamandrine fires, |
|
Cold currents thrid, and turn |
|
to rhythmic tidal lyres. |
|
Till the Spinner of the Years |
|
Said 'Now!' And each one hears, |
|
And consummation comes, |
|
and jars two hemispheres. |
|
Over the missiles meant |
|
To smite the opponent |
|
The sea-worm crawls |
|
grotesque, slimed, |
|
dumb, (and) indifferent. |
|
And now the Queen and Antaeus lie dead |
|
The twain forever converged on the seabed |
|
'Eternal Father, strong to save... |
|
"Curse the sun, and all that's holy |
|
Turn back, I dwell around |
|
Come to me, as a shadow |
|
Engrave the sun, with the blackest moon (shadow) " |
