Sail Again

I hold something close
Which cannot be seen
The last glimpse of light
Your eyes shot at me
Though all hands aboard
We shan’t leave here free
The flames are too hot
And the smoke blinds the sea
The waves deafen out
The few remaining screams
Ironically it’s
The plank that saves me
They carry the chests
That we filled with gold
Caught me surprised
Seeing 'em thrown overboard
I don’t know what these ghosts were looking for
The madness fills my head
I watch our flag as it gets stripped and torn
I’ll never sail again
As I lay afloat
I welcome the end
Without my ship and crew
I may as well be dead
I now drift away
Like a candle in the sky
Where I lived most
Is where I shall die
I don’t know what these ghosts were looking for
The madness fills my head
I watch our flag as it gets stripped and torn
I’ll never sail again
And it’s the lads who pay
From the plans made from their sea captain
You bet that he would trade it all
For one more night, one more day
But at least they know
That when the favors of fate will tip
The scallywag will follow close
Aye, he’ll go down with his ship
So sing for freedom
Drinks, wenches, Heaven
I’ll never sail
I’ll never sail
I’ll never sail again
