Ships sail to far away places
With unfamiliar names and faces
Trying to bring a semblance of hope
Tangled beneath that wicked rope
The tale of a travelers woes
Trying to battle his foes
The demons inside who won't let him hide
Who he is or where he rides
Cast out to sea in battle
With nothing but planks that rattle
Hundreds of souls beneath the waves
And no one will even remember his name
Oh captain my captain where did you go
Did you get pulled with the undertow?
Did the sea claim your last breath?
Are you finally at rest?
Oh captain my captain where do you lie
Will you return in the dead of night?
Do you lie near where sand meets shore
Or will I hear your voice once more?
Ships sail to far away places
With unfamiliar names and faces
Trying to bring a semblance of hope
Tangled beneath that wicked rope
Sailor if you hear me now
Please just turn your bow
Don't meet the same fate that I met
Don't let the sea claim your last breath
Sailor I know you're weary
Please! I beg if you hear me
Turn around before it's too late
Don't let the gods seal your fate
Oh captain my captain where did you go
Did you get pulled with the undertow?
Did the sea claim your last breath?
Are you finally at rest?
Oh captain my captain where do you lie
Will you return in the dead of night?
Do you lie near where sand meets shore
Or will I hear your voice once more?
A tale of a ship lost at sea
Trying to break and be free
All of these sins tied to one man
Never to see the sun again
Outcast, outsider, why did you lie?
A tale of betrayal in the dead of night
You could have turned the tide of this war
Now your soul will rest no more
Evil, enemy, why did you go?
You could have skipped your own death row
Now the waves await your call
You could have saved us one and all
Now we await your own downfall
