The Captain

Count the turning heads
To every word he's said
Count the heads they've rolled
For a promise they've been told
The number's far too high
For one to dare deny
The Captain of the Red
Makes all the royals dread

His hope is all they need
To never kneel or plead

The captain of the Red
And the army he has led
Have won the battle for
Their first and final war

Treasure after treasure
They've never tried to spend
Gold is not their measure
Nor a means to their end
Their warning travels far
Yet it's not for those it reaches
Whom it's for are those
That don't survive his speeches

A crew there never was
As faithful to a cause
Yet their captain had a change of heart
Or his designs were evil from the start

The captain of the Red
Left all his men for dead
Right out of the blue
The captain sold his crew
The captain of the Red
Left all his men for dead
Right out of the blue
The captain sold his crew

The captain of the Red
Fell down and lost his head
He did never hope
For pennies and a rope
Cause the captain of the Red
Left all his men for dead
The lives of his whole crew
Just left him hanging too
