Winter's Verge - The Captain\'s Log lyrics

rate me

Tired and sleepless, my crewmen and I<br />

Have sailed for a year, the new land to find<br />

We fought with the sea, we came close to die<br />

We prayed just to breathe, for that longing night<br />

Today Mother Nature has answered our call<br />

The thunder and lightning has died down and gone<br />

And just when the mist was clearing away<br />

We saw the black sails, now just coming our way<br />

<br />

And so this is my final log, I stand with her alone, Our very darkest hour<br />

My endless passion for the sea, has brought this end for me, And now I die a captain proud<br />

<br />

The black sails are gaining on us, they have speed<br />

"All hands on deck, cut and run, sail east"<br />

But fate didn't smile to us on that day<br />

The wind was against us, we had hell to pay<br />

The first cannon fire had shattered our bow<br />

The second then smashed the deck of the boat<br />

The shot that destroyed us cracked the starboard<br />

My hope then was flying with the men overboard<br />

Raiders, carnage, face me from all sides<br />

I plead for mercy, let me die in pride<br />

I beg you please, just let me die in pride<br />

<br />

Now, as death ascends, Here I stand, <br />

I do not fear this end, And now as time, just fades away<br />

I bid farewell, These are my final words<br />

My spirit will not die, I sail beyond this earth<br />

To new seas, horizons, A captain once again
