Hell's Gate

She was born down deep from a watery sleep
And awoke to a blackened, mischievous call.
She defied her father with greed as she stretched out her limbs
And in one big gulp she engulfed it all.
She came up from Hell's Gate
All in her way she ate
Laughed in the face of fate
She spoke with the monsters of myth and with no respect
Said "I'll show'em real prowess", Oh Loche Ness!
She inched in, inched in ever drinking. Took our
Sea, our land and our livelihood.
She came up from Hell's Gate
All in her way she ate
Laughed in the face of fate
Her life unwanted, her thick black water. We fought
Her with valor, a plug snug in her heart.
Her limbs lay limp and her breadth seemed short
But her nature compelled her to leave hints of her power
She came up from Hell's Gate
All in her way she ate
Laughed in the face of fate
