Pirate Ship On the Horizon

Things were going so well Warm summer days of love , friendship and peace It seemed that they would go on forever But what's that I see in the distance? It's a pirate ship - the skull and crossbones on it's flag Hearts beat a little faster "the dreadful has already happened" The pirate ship is coming closer Breathe in deeply Let's hope it's not for the last time While the waves gently lap against the shore We learn once more the meaning of fear Let us pray now! Let us not forsake hope! Sinister eyes peer out at us as we seek refuge From these dark masters of the deep
