A coward will go down with his ship
But a true captain would never let it sink.
To fight marauders and face Gaia herself
That's what being captain means to me.
To dance with death and steal away his scythe
I'll do it once, and again, just to avoid the deep.
If it means to find treasure beside emotions unwanted
Then I'll unbury it all without hesitation.
I'd boil the ocean, and drown in my blood,
Just to save my ship from a decimation and wreck.
My skin and bones - the sail and mast,
My beautiful ship - the soulful vessel.
You can take it all, and leave me alone
But even with nothing I am determined.
But even with nothing
I am whole.
