Oh Captain! How do you do it?

I see you tread through with your lantern shining bright

Are you afraid of the unknown?

Your courage keeps you alive.

It's kept you alive since the day you've heard our tales.

Always a believer, weren't you?

Loyal to your crew

Cold to your enemies

The map you treasured so dearly

Leeching away at your potential like a parasite

Taking away everything you've ever held onto

See the world.

Do not turn back, it's too late for that.

See it with your own eyes, not through someone else's.

Watch the burning of your own hopes

Listen..

Too much noise can be bothersome.

Hear the voices in your head, trusting no one.

Do what you must, let us play a game

I know you fancy games, don't you?

Such high confidence of yours can corrupt the soul,

wilting away after a single defeat.

Hanging by a thread, there is no backing out.

You're trapped.

Stuck here with me.

Until one of us wins this game.
