The Captains Unrest (Captain's Ghost)

**Verse 1** The Sea Serpent sailed, proud on the foam, Captain Valerius, far from any home. No storm could break us, no foe could truly stand, Till shadows boarded, from a traitor's hand. Saboteurs creeping, cold steel and deceit, A hidden charge detonated, pulled us from our feet. My ship screamed in anguish, ripped apart below, Down with my vessel, into the deep I go. **Chorus** But a **treasure burned within**, a furious, ripping need, To defy what was real, to plant a vengeful seed! **Old Frank** dragged us down, but that ain't where I died, It was the **saboteurs' betrayal**, nowhere left to hide! Now I'm the **Ghost of The Sea Serpent**, searching every tide, If you touch one drop of water, nowhere you can hide! **Verse 2** My spirit ignited, a wrath beyond the grave, A promise whispered, on every salty wave. To haunt those who wronged me, 'til eternity's end, No harbor, no cove, no loyal, trusted friend. For nearly a hundred years, I wandered, lost and grim, A hopeless treasure driving, to the ocean's very brim. Then Mount Mox beckoned, a battle call so clear, My ghostly presence rising, striking every heart with fear. **Chorus** But a **treasure burned within**, a furious, ripping need, To defy what was real, to plant a vengeful seed! **Old Frank** dragged us down, but that ain't where I died, It was the **saboteurs' betrayal**, nowhere left to hide! Now I'm the **Ghost of The Sea Serpent**, searching every tide, If you touch one drop of water, nowhere you can hide! --- (Instrumental Break: Music swells, becoming more chaotic and intense. A wailing, distorted guitar solo mimics the Captain's anguish and rage, punctuated by sharp, percussive hits. Sounds of chains rattling and spectral moans might be woven into the background, building a sense of dread.) --- **Bridge** They thought I was finished, just swallowed by the blue, But my oath was taken, my vengeance rings true! No rest for the wicked, no peace for their souls, I'll drag them beneath me, lose all their controls! Let them never set foot, in one drop of the sea, Or the **Captain's Ghost** will rise, for all eternity! **Chorus** But a **treasure burned within**, a furious, ripping need, To defy what was real, to plant a vengeful seed! **Old Frank** dragged us down, but that ain't where I died, It was the **saboteurs' betrayal**, nowhere left to hide! Now I'm the **Ghost of The Sea Serpent**, searching every tide, If you touch one drop of water, nowhere you can hide! (Outro: Music fades, with the sound of crashing waves and the distant, mournful foghorn. A final, chilling whisper, heavily reverbed: "I will find them... everywhere...") ---
