| First light reflects off the ocean
|
| All crew now set into motion
|
| Another day like many before it
|
| Hard life, no way to ignore it
|
| Behold, a cry from the crow’s nest
|
| A ship appears from the south west
|
| The years below deck that bored me
|
| All lead to what lies before me
|
| Hear the terror, fires burn and cannons sound
|
| Fate awaits me, as the vessels circle round
|
| See the slaughter, cutlass swings and pistols fires
|
| Feel the anger, raging though my body tires
|
| One last battle, in this sailor’s lonely war
|
| Come to meet this destiny I can’t ignore
|
| I hold my breath, close my eyes and hang on for
|
| Death before the mast
|
| Too late to lay low or outrun
|
| Up close we’re outmanned and outgunned
|
| Prepare to rush forth, unleash hell
|
| Cross swords in one final farewell
|
| Hulls crash, our vessel is boarded
|
| No mercy or tact is afforded
|
| But now the King’s men draw closer
|
| Seems like it may all be over
|
| Hear the terror, fires burn and cannons sound
|
| Fate awaits me, as the vessels circle round
|
| See the slaughter, cutlass swings and pistols fires
|
| Feel the anger, raging though my body tires
|
| One last battle, in this sailor’s lonely war
|
| Come to meet this destiny I can’t ignore
|
| I hold my breath, close my eyes and hang on for
|
| Death before the mast
|
| Hear the terror, fires burn and cannons sound
|
| Fate awaits me, as the vessels circle round
|
| See the slaughter, cutlass swings and pistols fires
|
| Feel the anger, raging though my body tires
|
| One last battle, in this sailor’s lonely war
|
| Come to meet this destiny I can’t ignore
|
| I hold my breath, close my eyes and hang on for
|
| Death before the mast |
