about
This track is inspired by the character Captain Flint, from my all time favorite TV series: Black Sails. I found it fitting to release this on Toby Stephens's (the actor who portrays Captain Flint) birthday.
lyrics
Cloaked by night
He was out of sight
But he could see
those in the light
Underneath the stars
At midnight's hour
He looked upon
What would soon be gone
Along his ship
He paced steadily
The planks creaking
Beneath his feet
In the phantom breeze
His rage was stirring
The evening faded
Into a massacre
•••
Within an hour's time
The clock rang an eerie chime
With a blade in his hand
He watched their blood soak the sand
•••
The only words you know
Are lust and greed
But you'll learn one more
By my decree
You took from me
What was my life
And in return
You gave me angst and strife
So now any harm
That was done to me
Shall be passed
Unto thee
Your hallow soul
Will know only pain
And nothing of you
Will remain
•••
You chain us to society
And you call that freedom
But under my own black flag
I'll unveil your lie to the world
My heart was ripped away
By those who's minds are decayed
Crying out her name
I will destroy who is my bane
