Signy Mallory


She's the captain of the Norway
And a thorn in Union's side
Protector of Pell station
And a source of grudging pride

Left the Mazianni with a price upon her head
And stayed to guard the stations that the company left for dead

They say she doesn't think about
The lives that she has lost
They say when Norway goes to fight
She doesn't count the cost

That once she's planned a course, she never recons wrong or right
So why does she stare sleeplessly into the dark of night

Captain Signy Mallory has no soul they say
The captain of the Norway has a heart of frozen clay
That on the bridge of the Norway
She throws men's lives like dice
Captain Signy Mallory, her eyes are fire and ice

They say for Norway's captain disciplines an iron whip
It's worth your life to break her rules in dock or off the ship
That no-one sane serves under her command but if that's so
Then why do her troops cheer her when she passes them below

They say the captain has no crude emotions to control
Just an iron fist, an iron will and an iron-banded soul
They say she shows no mercy and they say she never can
So why is Norway refuge for a burned out Union man

Captain Signy Mallory has no soul they say
The captain of the Norway has a heart of frozen clay
And on the bridge of the Norway
She throws men's lives like dice
Captain Signy Mallory, her eyes are fire and ice

She's the captain of the Norway
And a thorn in Union's side
The Mazianni fear her
She's the heart of Norway's pride

And stationer or merchant from Fargone back to Pell
Know for Mallory all Norway would fight demons out of hell

Captain Signy Mallory has no soul they say
The captain of the Norway has a heart of frozen clay
That on the bridge of the Norway
She throws men's lives like dice

Captain Signy Mallory, her eyes are fire and ice

Captain Signy Mallory, her eyes are fire and ice

For a much better rendition of this awesome song, look for the 1983 Off Centaur label of Horsetamer's Daughter. Julia Ecklar sings with the passion that one would expect from someone like Captain Mallory. Alexander is ok and I have a lot of her music, but hands down on this one, folks, Ecklar IS Captain Signy Mallory.

@HiWayLady49 I do have that one i was in the process of editing and working out the lyrics of that album so i could upload it but right now too many things are going on my mother has breast cancer and it doesn't look good the chemo isn't working anymore and my sister just had surgery two days ago to have melanoma removed we won't know for another week if they got it all. I only managed to get Female of the Species done before this got real bad and don't think i will be uploading for a while.
