Trust Me

Lyrics

Palene: Mountains and ravines: Scyllaeum was a desolate place. We were in despair. All except Spartacus. He had a plan for our escape. Far below in the port, were anchored the ships of the Cilician pirates. Spartacus and I climbed down the cliffs to meet their leader, Isoricus As we entered his tent we saw a handsome, olive-skinned man, lying on rich, embroidered cushions, while a beautiful slave-girl combed his long black hair and another brought him a silver goblet of sherbet. Isoricus greeted us like a courteous king Isoricus: There you stand before me And you're slightly at a loss Now you know the seas are stormy And only I can get across You come to me to see if I can pull you through It can't be easy for a man like you To be in this situation I'd love to help you with a noble deed Deliver you in your hour of need To your final destination I try to do the best that I can Oh I try and I try 'Cos I've always been a man you can count on So, trust me And I won't let you down 'Cos my word is a by-word for honesty So trust me I won't let you down I'll get you where you want to go, oh! That's the way it must be 'Cos there isn't any doubt That I can get you out Yes I'm a man of honour So I guess you're gonna have to Trust me Call me sentimental I'm prepared to take a chance Just to cover incidentals I need a little in advance You know I'd love to give you my assistance free But it's not easy for a man like me With a business to take care of The cost of living only seems to rise But the cost of dying is what I advise You'd be wise to be aware of I try to do the best that I can Oh I try and I try 'Cos you know that I'm a man of compassion So, trust me And I won't let you down 'Cos my word is a by-word for honesty So trust me I won't let you down I'll get you where you want to go, oh! That's the way it must be 'Cos there isn't any doubt That I can get you out Yes I'm a man of honour So I guess you're gonna have to Trust me As I watch you walk away You wear an air of satisfaction 'round here you're just a sideshow I'm the main attraction My word is a by-word For something that's for sure But honesty's a quality That I'm not famous for I mean what did you expect? I'm a pirate for god's sake! You've put your faith in me And it's the last mistake you'll make Trust me, trust me I hear that on your travels You've amassed yourself some treasure To take it off your hands Will be an honour and a pleasure But don't be too depressed That you've been cheated, robbed and lied to In desperate situations Men believe what they decide to And when I double cross you It's not because I hate you It's really nothing personal It's simply in my nature Trust me You made a wise decision, your future's set This is one agreement you will not forget In a hurry I assure you We've made a deal and I guarantee You'll have a good reason to remember me In the days that lie before you I try to do the best that I can Oh I try and I try 'Cos I've always been a man to rely on So, trust me And I won't let you down 'Cos my word is a by-word for honesty So trust me I won't let you down I'll get you where you want to go, oh! That's the way it must be 'Cos there isn't any doubt That I can get you out Yes I'm a man of honour So I guess you're gonna have to Trust me Palene: Isoricus demanded everything we had captured from the Romans in return for his help. The price was heavy but our hearts were light as we left the pirate's tent
