Capricorn 
Man of war 
Honour bright 
The long midnight 
In the hour before 
You lose your head 
The thief will paint 
The sunlight red 
Sunlight red  
Deep blue sea 
Witnessed by 
Flocks of ships 
As they sail by 
In a tower of strength 
The sabre frail 
Will take the brig 
And raise the sail  
 
Caged until tame 
Go-between is the name 
Scaring death to the strains of their crying 
Here lies the tale 
Of escapists who sail 
With assassins who kill for the morning  
 
Don't paint the sunlight 
It's virgin bright 
Don't paint the sunlight 
Wait 'til the morning light
