Plain the deck, my captains ship
floating endlessly through endless plains.
Tire me hopeless and drag about my weariness.
T'is life brought about through smoking barrels.
T'is death lurking through sheeping minds.
Live let die.
Speak no truth.
Tell no lie.

Walk the plank oh blind folded whip.
And jump soundless off my captians ship.
Caress the waves and breath them in.
No untying your hands!
Stare blankly beyond the saving rope.
Let it gawk at you and extend its hand.
Take his hand
Pull me in
Oh gentle savior
My captain, my captain
