The Stormed & Cursed Seas
Forever I’ve always known
That fighting follows wherever I go
Waiting for attack
Prepare to be boarded
Prepare to be stabbed in the back
Land ahoy off the port bow
Bring the ship inland
Plunder all these villages
And burn them bastards to the ground
There’s only one way to die
Go down with your ship no forsaken pride
Have high adventures on the sea
And now you have one chance to prove
You’re a man of the sea
And a man of the crew
Over sea and under sail
I raise my pirate flag and sail away
To the Stormed and Cursed Seas
Raise your flagons, drink to me
And I’ll lead you through to victory
Ahaaaa on the Stormed and Cursed Seas
The northern winds are blowing strong
And break the ship's defence
While the ancient souls of pirates lost
Are rising from the depths
The storm is approaching us
The waves bound off the hull
Thunder, lightning, wind and rain
The storm has finally come
All hell breaks loose upon the deck
The masts crash down in flames
We repel the threat with one arm tied
While the other arm slays the slain
Have High Adventures On The Seas
We ’re gathered here about the old
Stone hearth of fire
The flame burns cold
And around the voices raise in shout
For wood to burn and heat rise out
A cask of ale and an open drum
Will keep me dancing all night long
A dash of brandy here and there
The cooks out cold so he don’t even care... So Go!
The air around you turns a smoky hue
The smell of beer, death and mould
I’ts a part of you
We’ve spent a fortnight from the town
And now the open cask it leaks we have to
Drink it down
And all through the night
I believe in dreams
Of the suffering I’ve caused
I will not be redeemed
There’s one place I’ll go
That’s down to the deep, into the keep
Into the realm of demons far below
The stormy seas of madness takes a hold of me
I feel it clenching tight onto my sanity
I want it all, so far I’ve been denied
I can feel it getting closer
The edge to which, I’m slowly gonna fall
Hail to the gods of the world
And we will live forever
A serpent rises to only fall
Back down to Earth
Into his wicked ways
And did I repent from my sins?
Did I hell!
A man cannot have a moral conscience
And expect to do the things that I do
And as for the dreams? Ha!
A mere recession from my early days
The days when I might have felt pity!
