She set out to sea one night
Our maiden fair and bright
But from the black and the spray
Sailed a ship to do no right
But the captain's beady eyes
They could not behold the prize
this was not what he was looking for
His goal was victory at sea
not the fortune that could free
the hearts of man one and all
He pulls along her starboard side
while reaching for his sword
and when she's looking away
storms her decks before his horde
Ye' the captain cannot lie
never look her in the eye
This is not what he came here for
But it's stronger than his will
no he can't fight it still
his heart's set, he wants it all
Then he shouts to her men
you've nothing to defend
So he burns her out at sea
never thinks of what could be
He cannot change
and never will
