The girl she broke--the whalebone

A talisman---an old heirloom,

The people chase her out of her home

Then a snowstorm hit the coast

Sa--cri--legious girl

The people left her in icebergs

Freeze to death alone,

A cruel end----she had earned.

“A gift to the sea,” the villagers said.

“Stop the search; we are going back.

It would be better if she were dead.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

So the gods won’t stay being mad.”

Cold and lost in fear,

Frostbite took her fingers and ears.

No one to give answer

Is that what she deserved?

La-da-da-la-da-da-da

La-da-da-da-la-da-da-da

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Da-da-da-da-da

Down in the freezing ocean, she fell

Was she dead? She could not tell,

She failed to recall any details

Only heard a whale.

“Cou-ra-geous girl

Strong enough to break my bone

Challenged the storm alone

Sleep now; you’ll be home.

The gods weren’t the ones to cause the storm

People were ashamed, now that she had returned

With the power, she had earned

She let the old shrines burn

“You left me to die,

This is a warning and payback.

The whale god is by my side.

The village is mine by right.”
