Captain Captured
(Linja Meller)

Our Captain sailed in vain
his duty was insane
his desire was his pain
more than he wanted

A treasure made him lonesome
his madness wasn’t handsome
he believed he could find some
gold in the sea

But his final redemption
was the end of his life.

He was sailing sailing
sailing sailing sailing
hanging hanging hanging
from the rail and

He was sailing,
with Poseidon gambling
hoping, all nights trembling
He was living living living
for a treasure
giving all he had for with pleasure
he was killing everything in his way
thrilling oh I just can’t say.

At the end of the world
should be a trunk of gold
guarded by a wolf
black as the night

He wanted to have it
desired to love it
wished to rescue it
out from the water

But his final redemption
was the end of his life.

Arriving he could see
the wolf that was he
sailing like a ninny
for nothing than gold
But his freedom now was lost
his vessel fell what cost
his life that had rotten now
for more than a century

Yes his final redemption
was the end of his life.
