Silent Threnody - Captains Diary Lyrics

5/23/1723
I know all the seas by heart
Life of thief has become too hard
I have sailed across the seven seas
And touched the veil of death all around me

5/25/1723
We are reaching land again
Now I'm going to stay

5/26/1723
I'm leaving and deceiving
My fathers and my crew
Horizon will not be all sky anymore
I'm leaving and receiving
much more than pirate's pay
I have found love and in this town I will stay
with her till the end of time

8/15/1724
I know all your words by heart
Life with you has become too hard

8/17/1724
Ship approaching town again
Seas, I'm coming to stay

8/19/1724
I'm leaving and deceiving
Myself but mostly you
Oceans, my lair, my home that's where I belong
I'm leaving and receiving
much more than household slave
I am in love and with this ship I will die
I'm pirate, I can't deny

4/28/1725
Nothing could take away this gift
Of being captain of this ship

4/29/1725
Child was born I heard today
My son, I am on my way

5/9/1725
I'm leaving and deceiving
This time he'll come with me
Ocean's his lair, his home that's where he belongs
I'm leaving and yet giving
him future of all dreams
He is my son and with this ship he will die
He's pirate, you can't deny

11/19/1764
For I now see the mistakes I made in my life
And realize the cruelty I shared to everyone
Sets the moon for the last time for me
The only thing I have to do is
save you from this misery
So hear my advice, for I know all the ways
how a life should not be lived

11/20/1764
Time has come, I leave this old ship and its crew
To you and retire
I'll lay down and wait for tomorrow claim me
For I've had my time
Fare thee well, and live so much better than I
New captain you are
Grateful be of all your moments and life
Respect more than I - goodbye
