Come on Home
04:01
|
|||
Come beggars and boozers, come harlots and thieves
Come wharf rats and ragged misfit crews
Come daughters of milkmaids, come haberdasher sons
Come all ye with nothing to lose
From every dark alley, from brothels and pubs
From dungeons and gaols, chained and tied
From ramshackle houses, from backwater streets
From ruins and rubble we will rise
Come on home, [come on home], come on brothers in blood
Come wharf rats and ragged misfit crews
Come on home, [come on home], come on sisters in blood
Come all ye with nothing to lose
Sail away from your rulers, from tyrants and kings
Sail away from high priests and popes
Sail away from serfdom, from toil and despair
Sail away from a life without hope
The flag shows our colours, black as the night
The flag is a warning to all
The flag claims allegiance to none but ourselves
The flag carries crossbones and skull
Come on home, [come on home], come on brothers in blood
Come wharf rats and ragged misfit crews
Come on home, [come on home], come on sisters in blood
Come all ye with nothing to lose
Come on home, [come on home], come on brothers in blood
Come wharf rats and ragged misfit crews
Come on home, [come on home], come on sisters in blood
Come all ye with nothing to lose
Come on home, [come on home], come on brothers in blood
Come wharf rats and ragged misfit crews
Come on home, [come on home], come on sisters in blood
Come all ye with nothing to lose
Come on home, [come on home], come on brothers in blood
Come wharf rats and ragged misfit crews
Come on home, [come on home], come on sisters in blood
Come all ye with nothing to lose
Come on home, [come on home], come on brothers in blood
Come wharf rats and ragged misfit crews
Come on home, [come on home], come on sisters in blood
Come all ye with nothing to lose

By the Law
04:30
|
|||
As we sailed round the headland of Gun Cay one day
I spied a young sailor, off the gibbet he swayed
His face was all ghastly, pale as the shore
And I guess he’d been there for the whole night or more
A chain out of iron covered his limbs
As the ocean reflected his destiny grim
One look at his face showed the hard road he bear
Small men are big threat for he who won’t share
For reason or justice, now one more be gone
By the law, one more be gone
Leavin’ nobody to carry him home
By the law, one more be gone
By the law, one more be …
“Behold our future!” the bosun proclaimed
The punishment chosen for not being tamed
Let us be hanged, we have been treated worse
But into my grave I shall bring their fat purse
Drink bottom up for this brother of ours
And don’t take to much of a liking to your life
Don’t fear no death for it comes to us all
Let’s see this fucking order first quiver and fall
For reason or justice, now one more be gone
By the law, one more be gone
Leavin’ nobody to carry him home
By the law, one more be gone
By the law, one more be …
For reason or justice, one more be gone
A weak arm, a strong arm, one more be gone
A short sword, a long sword, one more be gone
We shall be murdered for what they have done
The navies shall claim their heroic strife
For taking a seaman from children and wife
For haunting this young lad’s parents’ life
By the law, one more be gone
By reason or justice, one more be gone
By the law one more be gone
Leaving nobody to carry him home
By the law, one more be gone
By the law one more be …

The Debt
03:37
|
|||
From the depths of the seas came a whispering call
“Adventure is waiting for you!”
Did my last honest job when I was 18 years old
Got a gold piece to serve in a crew
I have lied, I have cheated, I’ve been drunk like a horse
I have killed countless men without regret
I made a deal with the Devil, offered him my ugly soul
He shook my hand and the deal was set
For every sin there’s a debt to be paid
Repentance must come to us all
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
In the end you must reap what you sow
Took a prize once, a sloop, on the coast of Aberdeen
Seven sailors, but not much to steal
We took what we wanted an’ tied ’em up in that ol’ sloop
Let it burn and laughed as they screamed
I have lied, I have cheated, I’ve been drunk like a horse
I have killed countless men without regret
But even in the darkest soul sometimes fear can be found
I hear ’em scream in my sleep now and then
For every sin there’s a debt to be paid
Repentance must come to us all
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
In the end you must reap what you sow
We were raiding fat merchant vessels on the Bay of Biscay
When a French Man-o-War came swooping in
She carried 40 guns or more, we only had 16 left
We surrendered, and they took us in
I have lied, I have cheated, I’ve been drunk like a horse
I have killed countless men without regret
Waiting now, in a cold cell, to be sentenced to hang
Waiting for death, bracing for the end
For every sin there’s a debt to be paid
Repentance must come to us all
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
In the end you must reap what you sow
For every sin there’s a debt to be paid
Repentance must come to us all
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
In the end you must reap what you sow
For every sin there’s a debt to be paid
Repentance must come to us all
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
In the end you must reap what you sow
In the end you must reap what you sow
In the end you must reap what you sow

Hangman's Noose
04:50
|
|||
When your life’s gonna end
As you hold your breath
When your life’s gonna end
In the hangman’s noose
Feel the rope around your neck
Your hands are tied
Smell of death in the air
Nobody cries
As you’re standing alone
In a wind blowing cold
Waiting for the priest
To bless your soul
When your life’s gonna end
As you hold your breath
When the lines in your palms
Speak of nothing but death
When the demons inside
Are finally let loose
When your life’s gonna end
In the hangman’s noose
When the priest done his job
”Our Father” been told
When your sins have been cleared
Your hand of glory sold
When the words from the judge
Echo in your head:
”You must reap what you sow
And hang ’til you’re dead”
When your life’s gonna end
As you hold your breath
When the lines in your palms
Speak of nothing but death
When the demons inside
Are finally let loose
When your life’s gonna end
In the hangman’s noose
When today’s cloudy sky
Is the last you see
When at last the Reaper
Will come for thee
When you’re ready to go
Into everlasting night
When you close your eyes
As the noose pulls tight
When your life’s gonna end
As you hold your breath
When the lines in your palms
Speak of nothing but death
When the demons inside
Are finally let loose
When your life’s gonna end
In the hangman’s noose
When your life’s gonna end
In the hangman’s noose

Troubled Mind
03:04
|
|||
I watch to the horizon where the sky and ocean meet
For every sun that’s rising is a day of fate I’ll cheat
The ocean is my comforter, the wind my laughing friend
My burdens you shall carry, until the jolly end
The wind fill up the bursting sails, they’re longing to be free
The ropes will stretch and play their song, the sailor melody
The music of a wanderer’s life, the rhythm of my heart
My restless mind and wandering thoughts are longing to depart
The pirate life has chosen me, I leave no one behind
There’s nothing to forsake as I take all that I find
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
If you had sailed and seen the lot, the ugly naked truth
You’d wish you could go back to that innocence of youth
I don’t know when but through these years, I’ve changed my ways and smell
As soon as I come closer to land they wish me back to hell
The day I’m caught I hope to find a rope around my neck
No peace I’ll find away from the jolting wooden deck
This ship’s my home, if she goes down there’s nothing left to say
I sleep as I lay, in my cabin I’ll stay until my final day
The pirate life has chosen me, I leave no one behind
There’s nothing to forsake as I take all that I find
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
I conquer but the mankind, for nature I cannot
My reverence for her is the only prayer I’ve got
The ocean hide my salty tears the wind carry my name
And when I go, it’s better to know I’ve got only myself to blame
The pirate life has chosen me, I leave no one behind
There’s nothing to forsake as I take all that I find
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
But I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind
Yeah I trust my men to once and again, detain a troubled mind

Drink my Way to Heaven
03:28
|
|||
As I was walking down a Dublin street
A lovely sunny day
I came across a ragged ol’ man
Sittin’ in my way
His clothes were old, an eye was gone
His beard was long and gray
I asked him what he wanted
He said: ”This is what I’ll say:”
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink until I’m drunk and never gonna stop
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink my way to heaven and never sober up
I went fishing off the coast of my
Beloved Ireland green
I got a wondrous catch
It was the first I’d ever seen
A mermaid sweet and fair
With curly hair and eyes so green
I asked her what she wanted
She said: ”Listen carefully:”
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink until I’m drunk and never gonna stop
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink my way to heaven and never sober up
Outside a burnt-out church
With his head in his hands
There sat a priest mumbling
To himself some pious chants
With empty eyes he seemed so lost
Abandoned by his saints
I asked him what he wanted
He said ”These are my demands:”
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink until I’m drunk and never gonna stop
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink my way to heaven and never sober up
In a pub an army captain sat
Sippin’ on his beer
He’d been a soldier all his life
Killing everywhere
”I hate that bloody king” he whispered
With an angry sneer
I asked him what he wanted
He said ”This is why I’m here:”
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink until I’m drunk and never gonna stop
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink my way to heaven and never sober up
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink until I’m drunk and never gonna stop
I’m gonna drink, I’m gonna drink
I’m gonna drink my way to heaven and never sober up
I’m gonna drink my way to heaven and never sober up
I’m gonna drink my way to heaven and never sober up

When I first went aboard that bloody godforsaken ship
Davy Jones held out his hand and offered me a trip
But the trip I got was a slavery job, with no chance of a pay
Now I’m stuck here cleaning decks, until my dying day
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason
You speak of cleaning deck like it’s an awful thing to do
There are far worse jobs below the deck that I could offer you
Have you ever wondered why I’m scarred from my shoulders to my hip
The boatswain is still using me while practising his whip
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason
The velvet touch of cat-o’-nine is music to my ears
I have been hanging upside down for 27 years
Me feet are numb, I cannot eat, I’m living in disgrace
For everytime I need to go, I do it in my face
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason
I’d be happy like a lobster hanging upside down like you
Let me tell a story, it is absolutely true
Once while I got keelhauled, my bollocks they got stuck
And the men didn’t stop their pulling and my manly parts were plucked
If you think that’s all of it, you’d better think again
They thought I was a wench, a gift from Davy Jones to them
No manly parts, no bollocks left, no fiddle there to see
The men lined up took turns impregnating me
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason
Oh, it could be worse, don’t try to boast, our lives have no good reason
The Flying Dutchman’s men we be in tragedy and treason

A Cursed Night in April
03:35
|
|||
’Twas a cursed night in April
A heavy rain was comin’ down
A tired nightwatch freezing in a tower
High above a sleeping town
Silver an’ gold fill a rich man’s purse
But it also comes with a curse
Silver an’ gold fill a rich man’s purse
But it also comes with a curse
Raj-raj-raj-rararaj-raj-raj
Rararaj-raj-raj-rararaj
A pirate ship is coming close
Hidden in the darkness of night
Its gunners loading up their guns
Getting ready for a merciless fight
Silver an’ gold fill a rich man’s purse
But it also comes with a curse
Silver an’ gold fill a rich man’s purse
But it also comes with a curse
Raj-raj-raj-rararaj-raj-raj
Rararaj-raj-raj-rararaj
The city awakens from its sleep
”Pirates! The pirates are here!”
Killing and searching for gold
Leaving dead bodies everywhere
Silver an’ gold fill a rich man’s purse
But it also comes with a curse
Silver an’ gold fill a rich man’s purse
But it also comes with a curse
Raj-raj-raj-rararaj-raj-raj
Rararaj-raj-raj-rararaj
The devils from the sea took what they wanted
Bringing back to their ship the city’s gold
Leaving carnage and chaos and fire in exchange
The city governor a dead body, cold
Silver an’ gold fill a rich man’s purse
But it also comes with a curse
Silver an’ gold fill a rich man’s purse
But it also comes with a curse
Raj-raj-raj-rararaj-raj-raj
Rararaj-raj-raj-rararaj
Raj-raj-raj-rararaj-raj-raj
But it also comes with a curse

A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
Beggars an’ thieves, raise yer ol’ worn out sleeves

A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
Rogues an’ thugs, raise yer rum stinkin’ mugs

Unleash yer demons an’ ghouls

A grog for the ones that have gone
We’ll roam ye seas for eternity
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
Lads an’ lassies fill yer glasses
A grog for the ones that have gone
We’ll roam ye seas for eternity
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me

Black Sails
03:58
|

Haul wind my laddies no prey no pay
Hoist the Jolly Roger with me
We’re forever free to no royals we will kneel
For the Black Sails will forever carry on
We will fight together for man’s equality
Our sisters and brothers will be freed from poverty
We’ll stand together, we’ll stand strong
The Black sails will forever carry on
Storms ahead of us, our heads held high
The taste of freedom fills us with hope
In unity we sail, against dark winds we’ll prevail
For the Black Sails will forever carry on
We will fight together for man’s equality
Our sisters and brothers will be freed from poverty
We’ll stand together, we’ll stand strong
The Black sails will forever carry on
We will fight together for man’s equality
Our sisters and brothers will be freed from poverty
We’ll stand together, we’ll stand strong
The Black sails will forever carry on
The Black sails will forever carry on
The Black sails will forever carry on

Tonight We Die
05:09
|
|||
Above me a dark cloudy sky
A rain coming down cold as ice
The wind rips our sails into rags
Cursed be the ruler of skies
Waves rolling by reaching into the sky
Higher than ever before
Coming onto our ship like a mad captain’s whip
Crashing with a deafening roar
Tonight is the night when we die
In watery graves end our lives
Cursed be our souls as we lie
’Til reckoning day has arrived
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Below me the depths of the sea
Where sweet mermaids live, I am told that it’s true
Where ever there’s darkness and cold
Where Kraken is waiting for both me and you
Flashes of light leaving scars on your sight
Bright as sun turning night into day
Claps of thunder I hear coming from everywhere
Echoes that won’t fade away
Tonight is the night when we die
In watery graves end our lives
Cursed be our souls as we lie
’Til reckoning day has arrived
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Ahead waters waiting, unknown
Our headings are lost, our rudder is gone
We’re listing already too much
We all know for sure our ship will go down
Drifting and lost, like a rag being tossed
Losing our fight ’gainst the sea
To the darkness below our journey will go
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight is the night when we die
In watery graves end our lives
Cursed be our souls as we lie
’Til reckoning day has arrived
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I

My Love for Thee
05:01
|
|||
I do not forget, the day we first met
In a small seaside tavern, her vague silhouette
I was there to make money in New Providence
And I haven’t glanced at another lass since
I do not forget, the days that I spent
Lost in your bosom, high on your scent
Your voice rang clear and I played mandolin
My name on your lips, my lips on your skin
My love is for thee, so it shall be
His love is for her, so will be
I sail away and these days be gone
I have been called out to sea
One last voyage, with ye I belong
And true is my love for thee
I do not forget my ring on your hand
A small ceremony, our names in the sand
We spoke of our future, our own place to hide
The last day I spent with you by my side
I do not forget, the day I set sail
Tears in my eyes, a distant wail
Determined to keep the promise I made
To return to my love, a servant maid
Its a promise, my dear, my love for thee
Its his promise, dear, his love for thee
I sail away and these days be gone
I have been called out to sea
One last voyage, for with ye I belong
And true is my love for thee!
I do not forget, the day I returned
A rumour reached me, the tavern had burned
Dream now my nymph, as I behold
My love in the ashes of the promise I told
My love is for thee, will always be
My love is for thee, will always be
My love is for thee, will always be
My love is for thee
I sail away and these days be gone
I have been called out to sea
One last voyage, for with ye I belong
And true is my love for thee
I sail away and these days be gone
I have been called out to sea
One last voyage, for with ye I belong
And true is my love for thee

Hoist the Colours
02:59

The king and his men
Stole the queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones
The seas be ours
And by the powers
Where we will, we’ll roam
The king and his men
Stole the queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones
The seas be ours
And by the powers
Where we will, we’ll roam
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
Some men have died
And some are alive
And others sail on the sea
With the keys to the cage
And the devil to pay
We lay to Fiddler’s green
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
The bell has been raised
From its watery grave
Do you hear its sepulchral tone
We are a call to all
Pay heed the squall
And turn your sail toward home
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die

Sleep, Sleep

Sleep, sleep, waves passing by
Waves traveled from afar
Sleep, sleep, waves shall ease
Waves in the early morning cease
Resting along the shoreline
Sleep, sleep, wind wailing by
Wind with the north entailed
Sleep, sleep, wind shall abate
The forest of Dartmore exhilarate
Singing the laud of a blackbird
Sleep, sleep, flee like the sun
Into the west she wanders
Sleep, sleep, in darkness succumb
Drunk from the oaky Mount Gay rum
Bid she enlighten the fallen
Sleep, sleep, rocked by the sea
Safe in her bosom linger
Sleep, sleep, worries shall wane
Soon you will see your beloved again
In her bed no rest I ensure you
