October 19, 2009
First | Previous | Next | LatestThe Driver entered the state chambers with purpose. "Sir, I trust you've heard the news from the coast. If the public were to find out..."
"Yes," the Victim spat, "I know exactly how it would look." He sat forward in his seat and slid a file across the desk. "I have already selected the man who will take
care of Pike."
A meaningful edge in the Victim's tone caught the Driver's ear as he claimed the folder. He tensed as he understood his ruler's intentions. "Is this wise?"
"As you can see from his service record, he has unique qualifications to deal with the matter."
"Is that your only reason for sending him?"
The Victim settled back in his chair, and met the Driver's glare. "Two birds with one stone."
I'm looking for a man
by the name of Pike
You shouldn't help me
but you could save my life
He hit my girl
He spent my gold on silver spoon
I'll wring his throat
I'll make him pay his dues
And I know Pike
like his brother might
His fear tastes like wine
but his wrath has eyes
Pike's a wraith
but I fear no man
I'd light his pyre
as soon as I'd shake his hand
The wind's back East boys
You can turn around
No crew of mine get in a fight
just to walk out
And Pike knows your eyes
like the water knows the rain
He's more human than you or I
and I would be afraid
His ship looks dead
It caught itself in a hellish wind
But I stay my course
I'm sick of chasing him
This is it boy
Your run is done
But I'll stay my hand
You're just a pirate's son
And I know Pike
like his father might
His tears taste like booze
but I see right through
We sail in force
We rape the seven seas
The world is ours son
We'll bring it to its knees
And then the mist clears
The Red Navy... oh
Well this is it boy
Our judgment's on
And Pike knows my eyes
like the water knows the rain
He's more human than you or I
and now I'm not afraid
And Pike knows my eyes
like the water knows the rain
He's more human than you or I
and I won't be afraid
