The Admiral’s Mutiny

The admiral said softly to his gun
"I wanna hold you so I don't need anyone"
He said, "I know the way to use my head
If they don't watch it
They will surely end up dead
I've got the power and I've got the right
So I'm just waiting here"
So said the admiral without a trace of fear
Without a trace of fear

His musket cocked, his back against the wall
He whispered
"Gun, I bet they won't come here at all"
He waited, watchful, late into the night
And wondered if the mutineers would dare to fight
Nеver blinking, like a sentry stood
Thе admiral so well
Preserving strength to fight the devil's sailor twelve
The devil's sailor twelve

Tonight, tonight
The sun goes down, but the admiral's not in sight
And the crew is sleepin' light tonight
The moon is bright
The admiral hears them
Below the decks without a light
Their fingers grasping daggers tight tonight

From deep inside the ship, they hear his gun
The crew is scared
The man has finally shot someone
Twelve men are sent to look inside his door
The admiral lies shot and bleeding on the floor

His gun beside him, he begins to speak
Of how he fought so well
How once again he beat the devil's sailor twelve
The devil's sailor twelve

Tonight, tonight
The sun goes down, but the admiral's not in sight
And the crew is sleepin' light tonight
The moon is bright
The admiral hears them
Below the decks without a light
Their fingers grasping daggers tight tonight

His gun beside him, he begins to speak
Of how he fought so well
How once again he beat the devil's sailor twelve
The devil's sailor twelve
That came to set him free
From the admiral's mutiny
