I wrote the song "King Neptune" in memory of the wonderful Magnus "Mange" Olsson. Mange was a great sailor, a source of inspiration with his positive energy and a role model in the way he treated every stranger like any old friend. The line "The world has need of folk like you" is from a poem that Simon Le Bon wrote to honor our mutual friend.

KING NEPTUNE
Fair winds cry, the oceans roam
A man died, a legend's born
We will give your name to our sons
In hope of who they will become

Like an angel, never bound to the ground
King Neptune hand down your crown
White horses will bow down
How we miss you

Your laughter and your spark
Your laughter and your spark
Will always live in our hearts

A calling Card, a rolling Drum
Spoke the Language of an honest tongue
The world has need of folk like you
To live dreams, to keep it true

There's twinkle in the eye of the storm
King Neptune give up your throne
White horses carry you home
How we miss you

Your laughter and your spark
Your laughter and your spark
Will always live in our hearts
