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 much 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 much 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 to, 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.)
