Blame the Captain - Pirate Metal edition

Shipmate's Lost Love

The lad swabbed deck on a windless day,

No gulls did cry, no breeze did sway.

He dreamed of gold and bright blue eyes,

Of sunny hair and summer skies.

He thought of love, he thought too long,

He missed the rocks, he missed the song.

The hull struck hard, the timbers groaned,

The captain heard and cursed alone.

The captain came with pistol raised,

His eyes were wild, his anger blazed.

He cocked the lock, he took his aim,

And sent the lad beneath the waves.

(Whose fault?)

(The Captain's!)

(Aye!)

His love she cried,

She cried!

(She cried!)

Into the deep,

He died!

(He died!)

Blamed the captain,

Aye she did!

(Aye she did!)

Blamed the captain,

Aye she did!

Broken-hearted evermore!

The sea rolled black, the sea rolled cold,

The lad sank down through green and gold.

His love stood watch upon the sand,

Still waiting for his calloused hand.

The tides rolled in, the tides rolled out,

She cursed his name and she would shout.

Each passing ship would hear her roar,

Blame the captain evermore!

(Whose fault?)

(The Captain's!)

(Aye!)

His love she cried,

She cried!

(She cried!)

Into the deep,

He died!

(He died!)

Blamed the captain,

Aye she did!

(Aye she did!)

Blamed the captain,

Aye she did!

Broken-hearted evermore!

Now sailors sing when storms arise,

Of golden hair and bright blue eyes.

They sing the tale from shore to shore,

Of love now lost forevermore.

And when the seas run dark and wild,

They hear the cry of captain's trial.

One question rings above the roar:

(Whose fault?)

(The Captain's!)

(Aye!)

His love she cried,

She cried!

(She cried!)

Into the deep,

He died!

(He died!)

Blamed the captain,

Aye she did!

(Aye she did!)

Blamed the captain,

Aye she did!

Broken-hearted evermore!
