Tired and sleepless, my crewmen and I Have sailed for a year, the new land to find We fought with the sea, we came close to die We prayed just to breathe, for that longing night Today Mother Nature has answered our call The thunder and lightning has died down and gone And just when the mist was clearing away We saw the black sails, now just coming our way And so this is my final log, I stand with her alone, our very darkest hour My endless passion for the sea, has brought this end for me, and now I die a captain proud The black sails are gaining on us, they have speed "All hands on deck, cut and run, sail east" But fate didn't smile to us on that day The wind was against us, we had hell to pay The first cannon fire had shattered our bow The second then smashed the deck of the boat The shot that destroyed us cracked the starboard My hope then was flying with the men overboard Raiders, carnage, face me from all sides I plead for mercy, let me die in pride I beg you please, just let me die in pride Now, as death ascends, here I stand, I do not fear this end, and now as time, just fades away I bid farewell, these are my final words My spirit will not die, I sail beyond this earth To new seas, horizons, a captain once again Aus Songtexte Mania
