The Captains’ Creed.
Set sail upon this vessel
to search the wind swept sea.
Let not loneliness,
nor sorrow drag us to a knee.
- Such piss poor, pathetic souls
daren’t mingle amongst
this hardened crew.
Our fortune is from plunder
and our voices roar as thunder!
…Hitherto!!
Cowards cower in our wake.
All is ours for the take!
Through torrent storms
and violent winds,
remain rigid as a stone!
Not a single scream,
nor moan
shall shatter the silence
of the this chosen night.
…Not if rogue waves tatter
this beloved brigantine
with blind might!
I am your Captain!
Draw the anchor high!
Does any man think himself
to be more capable than I?
Then, …I’ll rip a gaping hole
straight through your soul
with my blood stained whip!
The fuckin’ devil himself
has sole command
of this dreaded ship!
