On Heavy Seas I Succeed


On Heavy Seas I Succeed

These pirates, they come and go,

They make me wish I could die,

They push me to my edge in eternal agony,

In conjuncture with the wind

They push me down.

All of my life I have fallen;

I have been incapable of success,

However, I have decided to persevere,

I have become unencumbered by my thoughts,

Thoughts that so entangled me are now rejected.

The men who created this terrible torture for me,

Shall now, themselves die.

I am the master of my ship.

I am the captain of my soul.
