letra de damn the torpedoes - pulp musicals

aj
mobile bay, 1864
near the end of the civil war
i captained a union ship of the line
off the coast of america
we ruled the seas
the war was nearly won
we had them blockaded, we had the guns
then word came to take this port
on the shores of alabama
the confederates had ironclads
gathered at the harbor
that every sailor knew was densely mined
now, we’d seen many battlefields
but this one had us shaking
a gauntlet that the god of death designed
at first, there was quiet
what were our orders
i never liked quiet
d-mn the torpedoes
full steam ahead
there’s a war to be won
so do what must be done
i know we will take the day
fire the cannons
raise h-ll for your country
many have died
but god is on our side
here at the battle of mobile bay
my ship was one of the first
to enter that nightmare of blood and smoke
yes, my men stood tall, but so do cannonb-lls
our bow splintered then broke
we were taking on water
too weak to fight
the enemy monitors
had us dead to rights
there was nothing i could do
i could not save my crew
i turned to god to save us
asking how could he betray us
just for once, look down
don’t leave your children here to drown
i was alone at the helm
i needed an angel
then an unnatural fog surrounded me
in the darkness was a man
he smiled as the skies around me darkened
introduced himself as kal
he carried a bottle of rum
and asked if i would like to make a bargain
my ship would find safe haven
my life would be spared
the safety of my crew would be assured
and in return, a favor
to be collected down the line
have a drink…
and the deal will be secured
was there even a choice
i took the bottle
d-mn the torpedoes
full steam ahead
i know you’re no angel
but we’re in a tangle
go on, you b-st-rd, show me the way
lead us to safety
i’ll give you whatever you want
i’m only human
please, save my crewmen
here at the battle of mobile bay
here at the battle of mobile bay
he nodded and vanished
as if the fog was never there
we stopped sinking
my ship was not struck by another bullet, i swear
the union was victorious
mobile bay was ours
it’s been ten years
we won the war
my crew moved on
i’m still here
and just when i was starting to think
that it all was a dream
the dark angel of mobile bay has returned
