Demon from the abyss, clothed in angelic white

Mesmerising every soul, as a milk-white opal 
Opening its crooked jaw, showing the void within 
Birthed from fire and lust, in the bitter waters 
Yet, by its breath, it filters pale light from darkness 

Demon from the abyss, now clothed in angelic white
Imprinted with hieroglyphics and astral signs 
Concealed by the fathomless waves from every eye 
Killing every pearly soul, binding every star


Inspired by the sperm whale from the famous book Moby-Dick (whom the book is named after), and the sea giant from Manichaean cosmology.
