Fort Payne

Maledictus

The eagle born by freedom won, yet held in precarious station,
set upon defense and steeled his will to guard and protect his new nation.
So he resolved, defiant of all who would challenge his right to be free,
with a “swift-sailing vessel and ten carriage guns” to hunt the world’s oceans and seas.

Born to go into harm’s way, come all! Ye hell or high waters be damned!
No lightning, no thunder nor hurricane gale can stand in the face of his wrath.
Be he beneath his enemy’s feet or by cloud where their gaze can not go,
when Leviathan rise, every last man shall shake to the core of his soul.
