Lurking

Lurking deep beneath the waves,

Always searching for new ways

To devour and to kill.

They will never have their fill.

Glowing orange eyes that see

And pursue relentlessly.

No hope you can get away,

You will be lost to the fray.

And will you be remembered

After you've been dismembered?

Heroes, fighters, even fools,

All will fall beneath the ghouls.
