about

before he left for sea his little daughter gave him her hand wound music box...throughout all it has been his prize possession right up to the very end.

lyrics

Ere sits I,
Staring at the darkened sky
Searching the distance,
Forgetting the shores
And me favorite whores
Ere sits I
Staring at the night sky,
Wondering how
Wondering why.

Three days before
The peace was different than this
The air smelt like burning blood
And the ground awash with piss
The ill wind blew
And the black flag was sighted
And thats what led me to you
From the wrath of the gods
To pass on this story tis true.

In the middle of the night
The whole ship was a flame
N the sails were alight
And the noise from distant cannon
Gave a three second scare
A silence bar the screams of the crew
The three second scare

Now theres not much left
A few timbers lashed
some linen cleft.
And a fistful of crew
But their bodies are smashed
And then theres me
Stinking of powder smoke and fear
Wondering what just went on
And why the hell am I here.

The flotsam is spread...
Pulled by the tide
Im surrounded by shark food
Along for the ride
Left to the amusement
Of what God's see fit
On my raft the dyin voices are silent
N eres where I sit
