Lyrics

 * I'm Jasper's man, his Caliban.
 * His to control, he owns my soul.
 * For Captain Red, I'd strike you dead.
 * You'd have to go, be friend or foe.
 * As Red's first mate, I subjugate,
 * or pulverate each man in great.
 * Each man in great.


 * Only following orders, that's the oldest excuse in the book, you're just a killer.
 * Just a killer...
 * Sally!


 * Not how I planned, blood on my hand,
 * I take the blame, I bear the shame, I bear the shame.
 * To know this hurt was just deserted as if my curse can get no worse.
 * My heartache deep won't let me sleep.
 * I can't go on, my future's gone.


 * I heard one day, a gentleman say, that sorrow is the price we pay.
 * The cost of care is most unfair, for all you've lost, your loss brings quite a cost.
 * But better yet, the no regret, there's no defence for malice prepense.


 * I'm Jasper's man,
 * (Not how I planned)
 * His Caliban.
 * (I heard one day, a gentleman say, that sorrow is the price we pay.)
 * (Blood on my hand, I take the blame, I bear the shame, I bear the shame.)
 * His to control he owns my soul.
 * (The cost of care is most unfair, for all you've lost, your loss brings quite a cost.)
 * (To know this hurt was just deserted as if my curse can get no worse.)
 * For Captain Red, I'd strike you dead.
 * (But better yet, the no regret, there's no defence for malice prepense.)
 * (My heartache deep, won't let me sleep, I can't go on, my future's gone)
 * You'd have to go be friend or foe.


 * And so, I know, I'm ready to go.
 * I'll make the leap to slumber deep, no more to weep for you.
 * I'll keep eternal sleep, just let me sleep.


 * And so, although, they don't want to go.
 * I must obey, for Red I slay, each stowaway and those who stray.
 * I won't betray, I must obey.


 * Look in my eye, and then you'll spy in front of you, a doctor who.
 * Through his purview he tells you true, don't bid adieu, he's suffered too.


 * I must obey. (Just let me sleep.) (Don't bid adieu, I've suffered too.)
 * I must obey. (Just let me sleep.) (Don't bid adieu, I've suffered too.)
 * I must obey. (Just let me sleep.) (Don't bid adieu, I've suffered too.)
 * I must obey. (Just let me sleep.) (Don't bid adieu, I've suffered too.)
 * I must obey, I must obey. (Just let me sleep, just let me sleep.) (Don't bid adieu, I've suffered too.)
