lyrics

We’ve been sailing for two months and a week
No sign of land, no ships, there’s just waves, after waves, after waves of salt water…
Where did we come from? Where do we go?

Brand new leaders of a brand new world, ha!
We set out to find, but oh, what false conceptions
Avid mirage of foolish eyes

I’m a captain who is loyal but sane
Leading a crew that’s nearly deranged
Trying to serve my King and my country
But out here, I’ve got a feeling that my country ceased to care about me

Climate’s killing, food stocks are down
All booze is gone and there’s no women in sight, not single sweet lady to brighten a soldier’s heart
A grim outlook, no stimuli

My men’s aggravation’s on the rise
And I don’t know what to do about it
An air of mutiny soaks my ship’s sails

I’m a captain who’s loyal but sane
Leading a crew that’s already raged
Trying to serve my King and my country
But out here, I’ve got a feeling that my luck chooses to walk out on me

So one night the madness begins
With Lieutenant Grayson drawing his sword on me

He says “Captain we have chewed the fat and things are a-change
We’re tired and we’re hungry and we won’t be killed
So your choice is to turn this ship around or to jump into the sea”

And I don’t reply, I just jump overboard

I was a captain more loyal than sane
I lead a crew of men who have forsaken me
I’ve tried so hard to serve my King and country
But my God chooses to put me on a road towards some darker days
