Let Chaos Be My Savior

from Brides Of Tortuga by Baltimore Rock Opera Society

/

lyrics

The navy has caught me
So far from my goal
The hounds nip at my heels
And grow more bold

What hope have I
With a crew full of girls
When what I need are women
Hardened against the world

They still hope for better lives
Think their futures are pure
I know the truth:
This ends in war

Hell all around me
The noose tightens
Let chaos be my savior

I could have stayed comforted
Surrounded by wealth
Cultured and fed
Kept in good health

But the power is there
For the men to all hoard
So I traded out my tool
Silver spoon for a sword

I did it for them!
Or did I do it to gloat?
Have I sailed to bright future?
Or slit my own throat?

Hell all around me
The noose tightens
Let chaos be my savior

I made myself an oath
I saw the evil of the Fronde
France tore itself apart
For petty, greedy concerns

No change or good can come from the wheel
Of one elite after the other
This I swore I would reveal,
Dismantle and destroy

Now they turn against me
Fight not for causes but their lives
Petty, ignored, insignificant
It’s a legend that survives!

If I cannot be a warlord
Let me be a totem
This ship shall burn
And in its burning send a message

Hell all around me
The noose tightens
Let chaos be my savior
