[Mark A Becker]

Gods of iron came from the sea,
they did not know the songs of welcome,

...

But our god heard our pleas and out
of his secret cave came Caltiki,
and devoured the intruders one by one.

Hey Tim- fantastic opening lines!  Very interesting twist of a finish, too, with Caltiki-The Immortal Monster coming to the rescue.  Subtle 'inside joke' irony, too, since Caltiki is actually a fictitious movie monster (created by 'gods of iron').
