 Mazu

The Chinese goddess of the sea,

Mazu , born in flash of red light.

Protectress o'er the waters be

Of her worshippers by her might.

When she was prayed to, she'd appear

From the water in a red dress.

Prayers would welcome her in cheer,

Would fall to knees for their goddess.

Many a ship did bear her shrine

As a warning upon the bow,

That foes would face Mazu divine,

And become nothing in the now.

Mazu is still worshipped upon

The island nation of Taiwan.
