A mighty captain of the sea
Died to give his life to thee
For when his hull hit foreign sand
Twas fear to heart 'n' sword to hand.
With fingers wrapped around the grip
We waited soundly on our ship
For soul and red to rise and fall
Some sank low and some stood tall
And in the distance, through the night
Stood a villain clad in white
Ghostly locks float on the wind
Never would he feel again
And so we cast the first move
A caustic explosion, Mount Vesuv'
Walls crash and buildings break
But let me show you what's at stake
The most beautiful princess you've ever seen
Such of a sweet angelic dream
We sailed the seven seas, her eyes
To bring her home, to tie the ties
And here now we can leave her not
Alone in a dungeon cell to rot
Into battle we must go
Through the deep and dark unknown
We opened fire round for round
On the deathly quiet town
The people fell in disbelief
While others bled to death in sleep
We searched the buildings through and through
In frantic worried search for you
So when we didn't see you there
To the boat, now through the wear
So there the captain of the ship
Climbed down the stairs and off the slip
Trigger finger, gun in hand
As his boots dug in the sand
And soon enough in the night
Would he meet the man in white
For he is not the only one
Who will not make it to the sun
Their eyes met at the door
A bullet sang and hit the floor
The man of white collapsing dead
His christlike clothes sang of deep autumn red
And on crept the captain still
Up the stairs, against the gunfire's trill
To look for a princess dressed in teal
