[Lyric] The Quartermaster (Nad Sylvan)

He was of royal blood by a harlot-mother
Therefore a bastard son as he had no other
But he got drunk one night and he took to the sea
Then he was drinking with me

"To the bully of life"
"To a runaway wife"
Drowned his sorrows in wine
As he'd bury the past with a smile tomorrow

And to the lot of us, we don't have much time
Now the waterfalls are dragging us down
If you ever lost your faith in our lord
I don't bear my father's name, but oh oh oh
I'll be your quartermaster

Then he said: "Come with me to a desert island
Well build a sanctuary by the force of our hands
And have our wineries at the top of the braes
For the rest of our days"
We can dance in the sand
With a glass in our hand
Sow our seeds and entwine
'Round the veins to the heart of a perfect lover
"Sirens will lead you, we will sing, we will free you"

To the lot of us, we don't have much time
Now the waterfalls are dragging us down
If you ever lose your faith in our lord
I don't bear my father's name, but oh oh oh
I'll be your quartermaster

Oh I know I might have failed to cut the mustard
Now you seem a bit afraid, I can't be bothered
I will take the first step ashore
So turn around and come along
Well turn around and let you go!
Oh you cunts!

Put your faith in me
Seamen's semen ought to play another game
I am your quartermaster
