with pride I ride the seven seas
the envy of my clan
I eat my fill much more than most
my gluttony out of hand
I gird my loins to take the strain
and do what I truly must
to spread my seed among the fields
sown with all my lust
I show no mercy to friend or foe
I bind them close at hand
my anger knows no earthly bounds
to any woman, child or man
my wants exceed old midas' touch
I take much more than I need
and horde all 'neath these steel-capped hands
to satisfy my greed
but most of all I do not care
I will not move to save your soul
for sloth is now my truest friend
for that I am behold...
