Rise Against The Tide!

Through an eerie night,

Shone the lighthouse, bright;

Rose the tides with all their might,

This lighthouse looked as haunting as its height.

The town lay still and there was no sign of life anywhere,

Deadly calmness and bodies of the dead lay everywhere;

Down came thunder and brought rain with it at once,

The silence was now broken and one could hear a few shuns.

Through the din of the rain, a boat washed ashore,

Out they walked, not knowing what they had in store;

The man and his child walked into the city with care,

Little did they know, they were walking into a living nightmare!

As they walked through the mess of the dead,

They weren't shocked, they were surprised instead;

Down through the streets they saw familiar faces,

At the bottom of his heart, he prayed and left his graces.

As they, together, walked into the church,

They found the father in shock and in lurch;

All he said was, ‘With the god’s law you must abide,

To survive, Rise against the tide!’
