Lyrics: Barclay James Harvest. Capricorn.

Capricorn, man of war
Honor bright, the long midnight
In the hour before, you lose your head
The thief will paint the sunlight red, sunlight red

Deep blue sea witnessed by
Flocks of ships as they sail by
In a tower of strength, the saber frail
Will take the brig and raise the sail

Caged until tame, Go-between is the name
Scaring death to the strains of their crying
Here lies the tale of escapists who sail
With assassins who kill for the morning

Don't paint the sunlight
It's virgin bright
Don't paint the sunlight
Wait 'til the morning light

Capricorn, man of war
Honor bright, the long midnight
In the hour before, you lose your head
The thief will paint the sunlight red

Caged until tame, Go-between is the name
Scaring death to the strains of their crying
Here lies the tale of escapists who sail
With assassins who kill for the morning

Don't paint the sunlight
It's virgin bright
Don't paint the sunlight
Wait 'til the morning

Don't paint the sunlight
It's virgin bright
Don't paint the sunlight
Wait 'til the morning

Don't paint the sunlight
It's virgin bright
Don't paint the sunlight
Wait 'til the morning light
