Commander of the seas,
Keeper of the Kraken,
Imposing and powerful,
Inspiring dread and terror.

Beneath the façade,
An aching hole remains:
Left by one as tempestuous
As the ocean he controls.

Such pain was his!
Removed his heart, did he,
Locking it within a chest,
Burying it upon dry land.

A haunting tune
Issues from the music box;
Sole reminder
Of what he used to be.
