pirate tale

all force of hurricane can do is kill

the life out of your soul remains entire

but what is lacking is the human will

 

from when we started we have run downhill

and every sweet-tongue seems to be a liar

all force of hurricane can do is kill

 

your aching heart and make your anger still

while all around sing loud songs of desire

but what is lacking is the human will

 

to take us up and let us soon fulfill

the many visions to which we aspire

all force of hurricane can do is kill

 

yet all have feared to pay the butcher's bill

though each of us knows no one will enquire

but what is lacking is the human will

 

so we survive the horror and the thrill

by casting innocents into the fire

all force of hurricane can do is kill

but what is lacking is the human will
