Master of My Fate |
| I never had a lover and I never had a wife |
| I was sold off to the navy for a very meager price |
| At the age of seventeen, I’d spent half my life at sea |
| Where I learned of all the hardships that a life on deck can mean |
| I’ve been tied up in the rigging, I’ve been flogged around the fleet |
| Been the captains' scapegoat every time we’ve seen defeat |
| While us wapping boys where strung up and keel hauled from the plank |
| I watched the finer fellas move unscathed up the ranks |
| Fate has brought me down this lane |
| Nothing to be gained |
| All I know is this in these sails |
| But now it’s time to tilt the scales |
| Bloody but unbowed I stand tall at the oar |
| And I’ll climb their scaffold once they bring me back to shore |
| I’m master of my fate, I am captain of my soul |
| And I’ll ride this boat, all the way, to hell |
| Sick of all the countless ways this game of life is rigged |
| I rallied every ruthless Jack, that sailed upon our brig |
| See, destiny intended to take food right off my plate |
| I decided we should try to fight our biased fate |
| A moonlit night at sea, many miles away from land |
| We stormed the captain’s cabin with marlin spikes in hand |
| From the officers quarters echoed screams out through the night |
| As we cut down every ranking fucker who put up a fight |
| Fate has brought me down this lane |
| Nothing to be gained |
| All I know is this in these sails |
| But now it’s time to tilt the scales |
| Bloody but unbowed I stand tall at the oar |
| And I’ll climb their scaffold once they bring me back to shore |
| I’m master of my fate, I am captain of my soul |
| And I’ll ride this boat, all the way, to hell |
| I’ve been called the ocean terror, the foul saltwater scourge |
| An enemy to mankind, that surely must be purged |
| But enlisted press ganged sailors, I parley just with thee |
| Gather all your weapons and come roam the seas with me |
| But do not be mistaken, this is a one way trip |
| The last place you will call your home will be this haunted ship |
| We are headed to the gallows or the bottom of the sea |
| They’ll catch us and they’ll kill us, whichever first will be |
| Fate has brought me down this lane |
| Nothing to be gained |
| All I know is this in these sails |
| But now it’s time to tilt the scales |
| Bloody but unbowed I stand tall at the oar |
| And I’ll climb their scaffold once they bring me back to shore |
| I’m master of my fate, I am captain of my soul |
| And I’ll ride this boat, all the way, to hell |
