Alone in the shadow I sit in my cell
Praying redemption may keep me from hell
The darkness is my only friend as I wait for the toll of the bell
An innocent man in a criminal lot
I was taken for service when my vessel was caught
Trade of surgeon, it seemed only doom had I brought
My hand were made to heal, but now that's gone
I used to dream that I would see every land
I used to dream I'd be a fortunate man, but it's gone.
I stood in front of council and the English magistrate
There'd be no forgiveness as I plead my case
I feel myself breaking, as the tear drops stream down my face
Things should be different this isn't even fair
I've never harmed another soul but no one cares
A prisoner on the galley, sentenced to die in disgrace
So different from my visions and now it's gone
At daylight I'll hang for the wrongs that I'm blamed
No tears fall for me my life ends in shame
The only blood that stains may hands
is only from the mending of the crew
Oh and now, there's nothing I can do
