Lieutenant Dan
Did you forget us thy poorest candles of flame and jam
These arm bands be band aids upon heart held by brothers hand
Be this day one shall Captain fate to seek his own Lieutenant Dan
Silence teething his self tyrant declarations upon quiet violence planned
Sword but thy only brush that one may paint his Von Wolf upon black flag
Shall we not best death today my old friend let us once more take stance
For none shall dare take from life unfair to give my fate its gift of chance
This the performance of Man his custom of courtesy be us fools that dance
Knighted by Mother Lords entrusted to tyrant love in conquests over Warlords
She gives cover of wings that covet his courage carried on shouldered award
Scars and stripes that cannot fade for it bleed no debt owed to landlords
Lieutenants his solitude to stare at deaths soul his finest boast
Above us bared witness for bravery shamed to none on this boat
Duelling nights of mare he wields his cursory of nursery sword
Woe to despair thy mightiest of foe be sown to he, his own foolish Lord
How it screams at every passing dream that take of my first scorn
What answers return as each curse be a verse coming undone
Who wish for worlds to give all of life for one more hug from Mum
Windows to the cruel upon this sill sat masks to hide the fool
Gods of sea no mercy shall be ever my final deed diving to her pool
Suggestive be ones reflection beg to question what never be asked
Until strength left his last effort to task upon that highest mast
Fairest of maidens don’t fade this day please release my chamber heart
I cant see heaven for I lost my spirit throwing empty bottles to the dark
Threw what knew of any loathing self to this my baby blue
Parting walls in waves she opens cellar doors to see us through
Silverware of the Spaniard galloping fleets thy gallant galleons for Maid Marion
Captain Evil of Knievel see his Eagle riding Poseidons stallion
Release of me this coin I wish for wells that wet these whiskers
Take of death one more minute if she be so quiet of kisses
Emotion sickness give definition my afflictions of missing
Visions tease straightened crease please release this lease on prison
Arrived by cradle ladled in her waters that broke from womb
Celebrants benevolence leaving cellophane bouquets by her tomb
Hanging treble signatures of Clef for every tune sung of Dune
Seductive be her deductions taken of man from epiphany
She gives not of life in servitudes to death when leaving the shores of me
Rolling carpet over motions of nova in these Arabian seas
Aladdin's lantern of tantrums grant me grace in dreams seated for afternoon tea
Necropolis rains in comets hailed upon us with colours unseen in life
Precision bends our vision balancing light and dark with hand of sleight
For once the lost but never have died now millennia has found us of pride
Lining shores of the ever more hear our echo in fire storms that wore the tide
Warning shadows we fellows bend metal so best hide or stand aside
The dark be our arts that put marks on fear as we hold up fists to fight
Not for us this day for only the old shall lay before all Gods of death
Ask not of his dread to sign autographs crested in Wigan stars to chest
With not of love to write first but last of verse in text
This unto yourself be not enemy but thy best pen pal of friend
Scribing macabre tribes of when birds warned the hordes of Men
Drawn of Sword once pulled from the Moors these tattoos need no pen
Each of us be humble of craft but no charity shall we ask
Makeup brush make blush those young take rest of their dark
Stand with us never do we break crust on a days rust
Fallen tree we cross to trade only the dirt taken of us
Give back our love we lost for each man himself be trials of tough enough
Fall lost sons of leaf wake up Jake to find his trust of the Muss
Hailing those whales still sailing the Talladega water rail till dusk
Lost wanderers to Earth we return this world to her giant tusks
Ever shall time pine for her design sitting upon our wishes made under this eclipse
One to each cheek she left her heart in both stars kissing horizons with lipstick
Embracing traces wading pools laced to taste her immortal dark
Eldest wolf learned that every howl starts with the smallest bark
We the unruly be asked of duty the highest honour to ever ask
The saddest sailors that ever did see seven seas of star
Pirates to no admired silence, we carry his happy to worlds ever far
Holding dark to ask may we present our last heart of the All Spark
No shadows betray for he the exiled shall find us the wild
Onward to victory his child
