Seafaring Assassin Lyrics

A stranger approaches, blind stare, in a haze

Battered like us, he's been walking for days

We nod to his passing and stop for a greet

Before our formal greeting, he began to speak"I was a ship captain, married to the sea

A torrid companion, yet generous is she

Nurturing at times, heartless at others

She could reign with such fury as many discovered"

The hills are for backpackin

The trails are for trackin

But be careful when passin

The Seafaring Assassin"It was a dozen years ago as captain of The Lance

I tracked my courting queen wherever she led

She'd guide me with song, I was close just before

I was captured by a pirate who stole my soul

Then cursed for eternity, riding her waves

While my sea-god rejected my soulless remains

Though she can be cruel, she is surely fair

She removed my curse, my seagirt despair"

The hills are for backpackin

The trails are for trackin

But be careful when passin

The Seafaring Assassin"Now the only reason I travel the earth is

To find my soul's captor and cut him open

Damn to hell the evil mortal that stole it

He has it coming for the life he has chosen

Killing my deceiver is a rightful attack

I'll become whole when I take my soul back

I believe that man may be hiding in these hills

Harboring my soul, it is in my right to kill"

The hills are for backpackin

The trails are for trackin

But be careful when passin

The Seafaring Assassin"My soul has been calling, I at first unaware

Now I hear with deep focus, faint but it's there

I see you've been wandering for quite some time

Detail what you've seen, report back what you find"

The assassin demanded help but no one responded

We could offer no guidance even if we wanted

We left him behind to climb another hill

For mental mending and to drink our fill

The hills are for backpackin

The trails are for trackin

But be careful when passin

The Seafaring Assassin

The hills are for backpackin

The trails are for trackin

But be careful when passin

The Seafaring Assassin
