Chapter 18: His Mark

Harpoon the mast,
And sign those papers fast!
Old Peleg's sharp --
Had Quohog make his mark.

Signed a charm
That was tattooed on his arm
And now he's with the crew,
Despite that devil's blue.

Young cannibal,
Your hell awaits in full.
Avast ye, man!
A harpooneer's not a man

To be saved
Laying whales in their graves --
Give to darkness now,
Standing in the prow.

You could never do it so well,
Knowing Jesus sees it.

Religion's fine,
And death will come in time,
But pious men,
They lose the shark in them.

Made His mark
In the everlasting dark
Found in every man
With harpoon in hand.

You could never do it so well,
Knowing Jesus sees it.
