alderon tyran - dawson's christian lyrics

[verse 1]
jayme dawson was the captain of the christian and her crew
and he flew and fought the christian in the war of ’82
now the christian was the tightest ship ‘tween here and charlemagne
and the crew of jayme dawson was the same

[verse 2]
on patrol in sector seven keeping watch on barber’s sun
they were jumped by three light cruisers though they were no match for one
as they came to general quarters, as they sent out that alarm
jayme knew they must’ve finally bought the farm
[verse 3]
now they say that jayme dawson was no man to cut and run
but they say that when he fought he had the fury of a sun
but they say he made his bargain with some power of the night
that he sold his soul to win his final fight

[verse 4]
no one living saw that battle though the fleet was quick to leave
when they reached the site they found a scene no sane man would believe
dead in sp+ce lay three light cruisers cut to ribbons all around
but no sign of dawson’s christian could be found

[chorus]
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 made my blood run cold the more because it’s true
is the tale of jayme dawson and his crew
yes the tale of dawson’s christian and her crew

[verse 5]
i was second mate on hera’s dream, a freighter of the line
we were shipping precious metals to the colony on nhine
and it was on the second watch of that most uneventful flight
when the pirate ships appeared out of the night

[verse 6]
now to me there was no question for they had us four+to+one
and you can’t fight dirty 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
[verse 7]
first we thought it just a pirate but the vector was all wrong
then we thought it could be rescue but the signal wasn’t strong
when our hailing brought no answer i then felt a sudden dread
as we saw her shields were up and glowing red

[verse 8]
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

[chorus]
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 wh0re
as the battle rent the aether, as we watched and shook our heads
the pirate ships were cut to bl++dy shreds
yes, the pirate ships were cut to bl++dy shreds

[verse 9]
just as quickly as it started then the fighting was all done
and the pirate fleet was shattered and the stranger’s ship had won
she matched v and lay beside us and we watched her full of awe
as she dropped her shields and this is what we saw:

[verse 10]
there were thirty holes clear 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
[verse 11]
then she turned as if to leave us but instead began to fade
first her hull then her bulkheads as we trembled there afraid
but there’re 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

[chorus/outro]
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 made my blood run cold and i swear to god it’s true
is the tale of jayme dawson and his crew
yes the tale of dawson’s christian and her crew
