[Verse 1]
She was born with a knife in her grin
Salt in her hair, fire in her skin
The Crown came calling, cold and proud
She laughed, then vanished in the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
Cut the rope, burn the maps
She left their chains on the quay in scraps
Black sail rising through the gray
No one saw her sail away
[Chorus]
Mistbound Captain, gone from sight
Mistbound Captain, gone that night
The sea kept her, the moon kept low
Mistbound Captain, let her go
(Mistbound Captain)
[Verse 2]
They chased her wake with cannon gold
Found лишь foam where her ship had rolled
The coastmen swear when the tide runs high
They hear her crew in a gull-cracked cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Cut the rope, burn the maps
She left their chains on the quay in scraps
Black sail rising through the gray
No one saw her sail away
[Chorus]
Mistbound Captain, gone from sight
Mistbound Captain, gone that night
The sea kept her, the moon kept low
Mistbound Captain, let her go
(Mistbound Captain)
[Instrumental]
[Pirate fiddle solo]
[Bridge]
Years went by, the medals shone
The Crown got old on its polished throne
Then one dark dawn on the harbor wall
A woman in blue made the sentries stall
She tipped her hat, then the fog came in
And the witness swore, "That grin..."
[Chorus]
Mistbound Captain, gone from sight
Mistbound Captain, gone that night
The sea kept her, the moon kept low
Mistbound Captain, let her go
(Mistbound Captain)
[Outro]
If you hear drums where the breakers foam
Keep your eyes on the whitecap throne
Some names sink, some names glow
Mistbound Captain still won’t show
