To Mourn Job - AHAB

While we sit anxious around the bonfires

Trying to think of things to say

All is lying at the very brink

I guess, we’ve seen enough today

Aye, it is with truth I say:

All fierce to avenge we were

As Job has fallen prey

This night was just a blur

His spirit we will cherish

To mourn — we have no time

The wicked’s light shall perish

His spark of fire shall not shine

Aye, it is with truth I say:

All fierce to avenge we were

As Job has fallen prey

This night was just a blur

His spirit we will cherish

To mourn — we have no time

The wicked’s light shall perish

His spark of fire shall not shine

The bo’sun placed his hand with dread

Over the poor lad’s heart

Job — so mangled and be — bled

And the boy moved not ever again

Our bonfire well naked

Sent up mighty pillars of flame

The next morning’s dawn we waked

There was a great wind and rain

I hope some day, friend

You’ll be back on peaceful soil

The least said the better

Gotten rid of all
