SEA CAPTAIN:
Set sail!

Crashing through waves, plowing through the sea,
The men of the Vagrant Heart begin their journey.
Our course now plotted! The Wind at our backs!
Setting out to help our people, there’s no looking back!

Sail On!
A squall approaches
Sail On!
Be at your ease.
Sail On!
Men at the ready
Sail On!
Through stormy seas.

We’ll meet these men and barter for our lives.
We won’t return empty handed; freedom is our prize.
Liberty or nothing! We’re free or we fight!
I see my peoples’ future come into sight.

Sail On!
Boarder down the hatches
Sail On!
Be at your ease.
Sail On!
Tighten up the bowline
Sail On!
Through stormy seas.

I hear quiet mutterings of whiskey and beer,
The work now done until first light.
Ten large barrels are raised from the stores.
They unveiled to me their hidden delights.

The Wind begins to break.
The ship has safely passed.
The night goes still and now
We celebrated at last.

Come here lad, I like your hat.
Sit down with me and have a drink.
Did you hear the one about the ghost of Abigail Macree?
Said she’s thrown right off the ship into a whale’s waiting mouth!
Now she haunts the seas,
Looking for her husband, the drunken’ lout.
Have you heard the one about the monster that swallows ships whole?
Says it smells like depths of hell
And ten times the size of a troll!
I’ll just dance and dance and sing and drink until I’m sick.
Then no ghousties will get me, that’ll be me trick!

But wait! Off the port bow!
Tentacles as long as ten men,
And the stench of death upon it!
This is it lads!
The worst creature in the sea!
Man the harpoons and let’s test our metal!

Fatal and gory,
Blood and glory,
Harpoons and spears attack!
Lacerations,
Minor abrasions,
Its skin is just too thick!

Step up boy!

THE BOY:
Creature from the depths of hell,
I’ll gut you from head to tail!
You will be my first kill!

Creature bleeding,
Someone’s screaming,
I slash blindly away!
Berserker rage,
I cut away,
Covered in its blood!

CAPTAIN:
The creature’s dead, boy.
Now come aboard.
Our destination approaches.

Land ho!
