The Maiden
Tales of Betrayal on the Open Sea
Lyrics
She set out to sea one night
Embarking on a sea journey one night.
Our maiden fair and bright
Referring to a beautiful and pure young woman.
But from the black and the spray
Encountering darkness and sea spray.
Sailed a ship to do no right
A malevolent ship approaching with ill intentions.
But the captain's beady eyes
The captain's cunning and suspicious eyes.
They could not behold the prize
The captain is unable to appreciate the true value.
this was not what he was looking for
The situation is not aligned with the captain's expectations.
His goal was victory at sea
The captain's main goal is victory at sea.
not the fortune that could free
He is not interested in the potential fortune.
the hearts of man one and all
The captain is indifferent to the hearts of people.
He pulls along her starboard side
The ship moves alongside the maiden's right side.
while reaching for his sword
The captain reaches for his sword, suggesting aggression.
and when she's looking away
When she's not looking, the ship attacks her decks.
storms her decks before his horde
The captain and his crew storm her ship.
Ye' the captain cannot lie
The captain cannot deceive; he's honest about his intentions.
never look her in the eye
The captain avoids eye contact, possibly feeling guilt.
This is not what he came here for
The situation is contrary to the captain's initial purpose.
But it's stronger than his will
Despite his will, the captain is drawn to the maiden.
no he can't fight it still
He struggles but cannot resist his desires.
his heart's set, he wants it all
The captain is determined to claim everything he desires.
Then he shouts to her men
The captain communicates to the maiden's crew.
you've nothing to defend
He declares that they have nothing to defend.
So he burns her out at sea
The captain destroys her ship at sea.
never thinks of what could be
He doesn't consider the potential consequences.
He cannot change
The captain is incapable of changing his ways.
and never will
His nature remains unaltered and resolute.
