A creature lurks

A creature lurks

A creature lurks deep down below

deep down below

deep down below

a burning lake of fire

A creature burns deep down inside

deep down inside

deep down inside

a liquid lake of fire

I built a craft to sail across

to sail across

to sail across

a crackling lake of fire

I climbed upon my sturdy boat

my sturdy boat

my sturdy boat

upon a lake of fire

My handmade oars burned up

my oars burned up

oars burned up

to feed the lake of fire

I stood until my boat burned up

my boat burned up

boat burned up

sailing the lake of fire

I walked a path of hot gray ash

of hot gray ash

hot gray ash

across a lake of fire

A creature lurked but did not stir

but did not stir

did not stir

beneath the lake of fire

No creature yearned deep down below

deep down below

deep down below

to pull me in the fire
