The Tyrant Of The Seas
He once was told
"Once you hit the seas everything will change."
Well, he's still waiting for that day
And every single second
It just gets further away
Left to man the ship
Left in charge just in spite

"Let your body sink," he says
"Fate is in your hands."
You beg to have him let you go
Help; it's your demand
But you were born a murderer
You killed your mother 'fore you saw the light
It's your destiny fulfilled
To stab our backs with rusty knife

"Please," the boy says
"It's insanity at best
I've killed one life too many
Place the knife upon my chest."
And every single second
It just gets further away
Left to man the ship
Left in charge just in spite
"Let your body sink," he says
"Fate is in your hands."
You beg to have him let you go
Help; it's your demand
But you were born a murderer
You killed your mother 'fore you saw the light
It's your destiny fulfilled
To stab our backs with rusty knife

"Forgive me father, I have sinned
I've loved you like no other
Once you reach the pearly gates
Pass my regards onto my mother."

"I'd love to son, but sadly I won't be flying up to Heaven
It's the fiery pits of Hell below, where I am surely heading."

But it's too late
The ship has filled
No lifeboats left
No life jackets
I'll not be your killer
It's too much of me to ask

You've trained me to become something I never wanted and
Defy you now I have
I'll go down with this ship
Like every other man
