The Story of Old Martha Denroon
In the low orbit of a far off moon
Barraded by artillery day after day
Lie the fortresses of old Martha Denroon
Whos great golden days will soon pass away
True many years before, when her name was DeCore
All would look upon her ships with great woe
She had conquered and claimed, all her enemies defamed
Till there was no single soul left to foe
Many years passed since she stood at the mast
She would have nowhere to go all too soon,
As the thousands of ships surrounded her layer
The fortress of old martha denroon
It had been many months since the sun had been seen
Her soldiers grew weary, and battered and weak
But she would not give up, no she must not give up
As her soldiers cried out and her walls turned to mud
She rallied her men, one last time they shall go
Their sails were set with guns ready to blow
To the dazzling night from which none did go home
As their cannons blazed red they flew towards the horde
To their fiery fate as they raised high their code
The black flag of old Martha Denroon
Three days of battle are said to have passed
3 days of gunfire, and cannons a blast
Til every last ship, and every last man
Had been lost to the wind, held captive, or ran
But no body was found, and nobody has seen
A hair of the remains from the legend at sea
It is said she had gone, but no truth can be drawn
Some say that she sailed far into the dawn
Others say that she died at that far off moon
But we shall never know the case of old martha denroon
