Capricorn Lyrics

    Capricorn
    Man of war
    Honour bright
    The long midnight
    In the hour before
    You lose your head
    The thief will paint
    The sunlight red
    Sunlight red
    Deep blue sea
    Witnessed by
    Flocks of ships
    As they sail by
    In a tower of strength
    The sabre frail
    Will take the brig
    And raise the sail

    Caged until tame
    Go-between is the name
    Scaring death to the strains of their crying
    Here lies the tale
    Of escapists who sail
    With assassins who kill for the morning

    Don't paint the sunlight
    It's virgin bright
    Don't paint the sunlight
    Wait 'til the morning light

    Capricorn
    Man of war
    Honour bright
    The long midnight
    In the hour before
    You lose your head
    The thief will paint
    The sunlight red
    Sunlight red

    Caged until tame
    Go-between is the name
    Scaring death to the strains of their crying
    Here lies the tale
    Of escapists who sail
    With assassins who kill for the morning

    Don't paint the sunlight
    It's virgin bright
    The long midnight
    In the hour before
    You lose your head
    The thief will pain
    The sunlight red
