"If my Captain ever died I'd be right here directing my attempt, pursuin' absolution"
I believe "my Captain" is a metaphor for his conscience here. If he had lost his conscience, he would be trying to save himself from punishment by begging and showing off some religious change of heart.
Instead, like a man, he sits to accept the consequences of his action.
