CAPTAIN'S FORTY

Intro – organ, thunder, spoken in a deep voice Galaxidi. Nineteen twenty-six. The sea gave back a captain... dry. Verse 1 When the blood moon rises over Galaxidi bay Four men gather at the table, and the dice are cast to play Candles burning, salt wind howling through the captain's door Forty days the dead man waited — now he waits no more! Pre-Chorus A silver Omega, stopped — three minutes stolen from the hour A tome beyond the numbers, and a key of ancient power! Chorus Captain's Forty! Raise your steel into the night! Sons of Galaxidi, we stand and we fight! Down beneath the house where the Old Ones sleep We hold the course like Ulysses — we will not bow to the Deep! Verse 2 Down in Vistrithra, below the house, the temple waits in stone The will was opened, the door was found, we went down alone Then a phone rang in the darkness — Nektarios was calling At Makra Nikola the waves were black and the night was falling! Pre-Chorus The dogs of Delphi howling, the old woman's spell in hand The cannery at Itea, and shadows on the sand! Chorus Captain's Forty! Raise your steel into the night! Sons of Galaxidi, we stand and we fight! Down beneath the house where the Old Ones sleep We hold the course like Ulysses — we will not bow to the Deep! Bridge – slower, heavy The sirens sang of gold and glory, whispered every name They offered power, they offered knowledge, they offered endless fame Bind me to the mast, my brothers! Stop my ears with wax! We stayed the course, we kept the faith — and never once looked back! Guitar solo Verse 3 – building Roza walked out with us into the morning light The White Uncreated Light, our shield against the night The story is not over, the sea is never still The Captain's Forty calls us — and we answer still! Final Chorus – key change, choir Captain's Forty! Raise your steel into the night! Sons of Galaxidi, we stand and we fight! Down beneath the house where the Old Ones sleep We hold the course like Ulysses — we will not bow to the Deep! We will not bow to the Deep! Outro – spoken, waves The story continues.
