Captain Burden

Amidst the storm's fury, the ship met its end, Swept by the tempest, where the wild waves bend. With screams in the night and the crash of the sea, Only the captain survived, lost in tragedy. (Chorus) Oh, the weight of the sea, the burden he bears, In the wreckage's shadow, with silent prayers. For each lost soul, a weight on his chest, The captain alone, in the storm's wild unrest. The wreckage strewn, like bones on the shore, Memories of comrades, now forever no more. Haunted by echoes of their final cries, The captain bears witness, with tear-stained eyes. Alone on the shore, with the weight of despair, He carries their souls, in the salt-laden air. Their faces etched in the depths of his mind, Their absence a wound, that time cannot bind. In the solitude of his grief-stricken plight, He's left with the burden, of surviving the night. For each life lost, a burden to bear, As he navigates the wreckage, with silent prayer. Through storm and through sorrow, he'll sail on alone, Haunted by memories, to a fate unknown. With each passing day, the burden remains, A captain adrift, in the sea's endless plains. Oh, the weight of the sea, the burden he bears, In the wreckage's shadow, with silent prayers. For each lost soul, a weight on his chest, The captain alone, in the storm's wild unrest. Through storm and through sorrow, he'll sail on alone, Haunted by memories, to a fate unknown. With each passing day, the burden remains, A captain adrift, in the sea's endless plains.
