The captain of my destiny written by Alan.s.Robinson
I am the captain of my destiny
standing on the bridge
as the ship goes down
the master of my fate no more
I hear the band play
Nearer my god but still not found
I was three days out of port sailing in a sea of ecstasy
Well that’s what I thought
I was so wrapped up in revelry, could not see what’s in front of me
In the still moonlit night I took a walk
I hear the siren singing so sweetly in my ear
The words that all fools long to hear
To fight against that melody was far too much to ask
It took me over, took me under, left me mad against the mast
Let those who go down to the sea beware
Let those who will go down to the sea take care
I am the captain of my destiny
standing on the bridge
as the ship goes down
the master of my fate no more
I hear the band play
Nearer my god but still not found
You see these wild eyes with fiery feelings in their cries
Belong the ancient mariner and me
We tell our stories giving warnings the unwary
learn a lesson from our sorry tragedies
but what fools can learn from fools
is but foolishness and nothing more
for all advice is like the mirage of dry land
when fresh waters running short
Let those who go down to the sea beware
Let those who will go down to the sea take care
I am the captain of my destiny
standing on the bridge
as the ship goes down
the master of my fate no more
I hear the band play
Nearer my god but still not found
You hung your love around my neck so I never can forget
Never hope for resurrection
I stand alone in seas festooned, beneath a star dogged moon
Marooned in my own reflections
Some evil creature from the deep
is creeping crawling across the deck
I recognise my withered soul
come to claim me from the wreck
Let those who go down to the sea beware
Let those who will go down to the sea take care
I am the captain of my destiny
standing on the bridge
as the ship goes down
the master of my fate no more
I hear the band play
Nearer my god but still not found
The captain of my destiny, I hear the ban play, I hear the band play
the master of my fate no more, I hear the band play, I hear the ban play
nearer my god to thee
nearer my god to thee
nearer my god to thee
