The Ballad Of Cap'n Kris

from Straight From The Surface by Suncooked

/

lyrics

All alone she dances in the dark,
Oh please watch your step my dear,
As the cannons crash missing every mark,
The waves they claim, an the Captain steers,

A man, a crown, I think we're going down,
Well can't you see that all we need,
Is a flag, a boat, to keep this dream afloat,
I'll be damned to fall foul of a man

I set my course so show me no remorse,
But how did it get this way?
And Krista, my dear, how did we get here?
Oh no, oh oh,

I've seen my share of battle war and hate,
Oh no how these tides have changed,
But victory is on no silver plate,
embrace her waves her face is cold and strange,

At the sound of a horn, the word is all aboard,
May the lord shine down and strike true steel,
Well the pen my friend, is mighty as a sword,
Write your way from war and take the wooden wheel,

I set my course so show me no remorse,
But how did it get this way?
And Krista, my dear, how did we get here?
Oh no, oh oh,

Without a sound we set courses Bristol bound,
to mend the wounds of our maiden ship,
A light a bell, i woke up in a cell,
With the bars of iron, keeping me down,
The rust, a drip, awake me from this trip,
Stained with holy water as the flames did build

I set my course so show me no remorse,
But how did it get this way?
And Krista, my dear, how did we get here?
Oh no, oh oh,
