Gunpowder Magic - The Privateer

There is a time to flee

And one to decide

To put the life of the few

For the many in line

The first mate had tried

To play them a scene

Gunpowder magic

But it was too late

We are bound to a place

We should have never found

Wherever we might go

It keeps on following around

The only luck we had on our side

Was the animalistic way

They tended to fight

More biting and clawing

Hard to believe

Not like civilized man

That they used to be

We are bound to a place

We should have never found

Wherever we might go

It keeps on following around

In the burning sand

I am lying just the mind can rotate

In disbelieve

In a barren place

I am finding helping hand

Lifting great relieve

Pulled up a sturdy wall

Safe and sound

Colossal failure

The mission turned foul

Its cost to come yet no one can see

The truth has come upon us

Like a shroud

It’s so much worse

Than all illusions around

There’s madness hidden

Behind my frown for those that

I’ve sent to die while we flee

Each one I’ve lost is pulling me down

To a place where I will face all my deeds

We are bound to a place

We should have never found

Wherever we might go

It keeps on following around
