I have surrendered you to the forces

And I take it on my ,

I took your responsibility and I shall be held for it

For that's how it has always been

Or so I thought.

The doom is nigh

I see no stars tonight

There's silence on the deck

A mutual understanding es

We hear the waves talk of the tragedies they take

Preparing for another, as we resign to fate

I hear the sky rumble,

the clouds break with a lightning

Turning the night white

The pace of the current high low

It's eerie when nature loses balance

A warning to mankind

Of the wrath it patiently holds.

Captain... I am the Captain

The ship is mine but the sea is yours

I shall bow down to you again

And wish for you to love me like a paradox

Swallow me in the deep

And spit me out in the shallow

Feeling sympathy for the burden of wreckage of a thousand I am to hold.
