Honestly, I feel you just rushed this one. A song like this needs a more relaxed pace.

Well I thought our fate was settled, for they had us four to one | And you can't fight bloody pirates when your freighter has no gun | So we stood by to be boarded by a party yet unseen | When another ship appeared upon our screen

First I thought she was a pirate, but the vector was all wrong | Then I thought the fleet had found us, but the signal wasn't strong | And our hailing brought no answer, and I felt a sudden dread | For the stranger's shields were up and glowing red

Now the courage of that single ship is shown by very few | And I thought none but a madman would fly her as she flew | She was outgunned, she was outnumbered, but a cheer came from our lips | When she swung to fire on the pirate ships,

And the stranger's beams burned brighter than all beams I'd seen before | And the stranger's shields were harder than the heart of any whore | And the battle rent the ether, as we watched and shook our heads | Four pirate ships she cut to bloody shreds | Yes four pirate ships were cut to bloody shreds

Just as quickly as it started then the fighting was all done | For the pirate ships were shattered and the stranger's ship had won | She matched v and lay beside us, and we watched her full of awe | And she dropped her shields and this is what we saw

There were thirty holes clean through her, and a gash along one side | And we knew that when it happened, every soul on board had died | Then she rolled to show her markings, and we read them and we knew | The fate of Jayme Dawson and his crew | She was the Christian... and a grave for all her crew...

Then she turned as if to leave us, but instead began to fade | First her hull, and then her bulkheads, as we trembled there afraid | But there are twenty men who'll swear with me, the last to slip from view | Were the bones of Jayme Dawson and his crew | Dead white bones of Jayme Dawson and his crew

There are stories of the Dutchman, the Celeste and Barnham's Pride | There are stories of the Horseman and the Lady at his side | But the tale that makes my blood run cold, 'cause I know that it's true | Is the tale of Jayme Dawson and his crew Yes, the tale of Dawson's Christian and her crew | They're out there | Jayme Dawson and his crew...

A love-song I wrote for someone special. I'm very happy with the result.

We'll see where it goes

This song was from Battle Technology Issue 0102, October 3027. From my research, it was never recorded. The composer is Nina Barton and the lyricist, William H. Keith, Jr.

As such, I present it to you, as used in Tex's analysis of the Amaris Civil War: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c71x68uWd5k

Addemdum: Seems Soundcloud replies got a severe lag... I'll do what I can.
