SS Nigeria by Mstings: 4:36pm On Feb 05, 2015 |
There it is and it was In its wooden glory There it is SS Nigeria Look at the helm Look st the main deck Look at the wheel Look at the captain's cabin Look at the skylight Look at the cannons, light and heavy What has she not? What be missing Why be the same route we treading Why isnt the captain calling Why are the officers meddling Why are they preventing the captain from thinking Port some say Starboard some another say Indeed one be the way Why is it the mind of the captain wont sway Why is he stiff on the wheel Where the the first mate Where he be i cant locate I see him with the captain What he be whispering Why the captain be smiling Why i know the smile It be the smile of greed It has been smiled by captains past Then our destiny has been cast How long would we last That smile be the smile of the ones before him The future of this ship be dim The skies are dark ahead I hear it, the pit and patter of the rain on the deck Stop rain the deck already be a wreck It hath been holed it be rotting It hath hurt the crew The sick bay be ill The hurt crew member it cannot heal The i heard a scream The all familiar name Pirates In their glory around Bout abound To your stations go laddies Nay not one moved The gun powder be wet, they said The guns be rusty they said Cannons be rusty they said Then i said we be dead. Our faces in fear it white In our gloom the captians face be light Drop the sail he ordered I was aghast For the ship he didnt care His way of leadership rare No it be common to the black seas The captain be focused on island before him I be focused on the maelstrom before him All hope lost at the what cost at the cost of a familiar chink In despair i resign In the middle the end i ask What will kill us first They responded that be an easy task For neither the pirates nor the maelstrom But our own inaction and the captains greed in action We have died and we are going to die Good bye sinking ship nigeria |
