    Uploaded by

    Lucas Victoy
    The song tells a story through its chord progressions. It describes a captain who refused to see how a ship was burned one night. Later, the narrator is wrongly blamed for a charge by the crew, who were actually bribed. The story ends with the narrator returning to where the story began, still trying to preserve their reputation.
