About a sea captain who is tempted by the sirens of the sea. His crew plead for clemency but he opts to scuttle his vessel and drown his crew for the sake of his own skin.

lyrics
Please drown away with me Leave your earthly soul to the sea
I'm the captain of my ship and I hear the sirens calling my name
There'll be a mutiny on...
We beg you please please don't scuttle the ship
With water on the bow we will surely list
Please don't steer the boat unto the rocks by the shore we will surely be sunk
Please please don't set us adrift with lifeboat number one reserved for the bridge
We'll cling to the wreckage till the mast is gone whilst the helm is seduced by the siren's song.
