The Quest



Leviathan

Legend speaks of a beast
Three hundred miles from it's tip to it's tail
None have seen it, yet all know it's name
Like the ark of the covenant, or the holy grail

We set out on a quest
In search of the lair, where the creature doth dwell
On a ransom to bring back it's head
Our journey would take us to the depths of hell

His eyes shine like the rays of morning
His mouth is as a burning flame

Leviathan
Cresting the waves
Leading us all to the grave
Leviathan
Slaying all foes
Who dare to oppose
Tearing bodies limb from limb
Eviscerating on a whim

The skies turned to black
The oceans fell dead, no winds dared to blow
Then out the darkness with a thunderous roar
Leviathan rose up from the depths below

Cannons fired, and swords tasted blood
As the beast turned to strike with rage in it's eyes
From it's mouth came a great ball of flame
It was then we all knew, that the end was nigh

His eyes shine like the rays of morning
His mouth is as a burning flame

Leviathan
Cresting the waves
Leading us all to the grave
Leviathan
Slaying all foes
Who dare to oppose
Tearing bodies limb from limb
Eviscerating on a whim

His eyes shine like the rays of morning
His mouth is as a burning flame
His nostrils seethe with fumes of brimstone
He is the beast that can't be tamed

Leviathan
Cresting the waves
Leading us all to the grave
Leviathan
Slaying all foes
Who dare to oppose
Tearing bodies limb from limb
Eviscerating on a whim

That Famous Ol' Spiced



Keelhauled

My friends I stand before you,
To tell a truth most dire.
There lurks a traitor in our midst,
Who has invoked the captain's ire.

Don't deserve no mercy,
We ought to shoot him with a gun.
But I am not an evil man,
So first let's have a little fun.

We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope,
And throw him overboard.
Drag him underneath the ship,
A terrifying deadly trip.

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber,
Send him down to the depths below.
Make that bastard walk the plank,
With a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho.

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber,
Send him down to the depths below.
Make that bastard walk the plank,
With a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho.

I will not say what he has done,
His sins are far too grave to tell.
It's not my place to judge a man,
But for that he will burn in hell.

The sharks will dine upon his flesh,
And Davy Jones will have his soul.
Take his money and his hat,
He won't need that where he's gonna go.

But first let's tie him to a rope,
And throw him overboard.
Drag him underneath the ship,
A terrifying deadly trip.

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber,
Send him down to the depths below.
Make that bastard walk the plank,
With a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho.

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber,
Send him down to the depths below.
Make that bastard walk the plank,
With a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho.

We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope,
And throw him overboard.
Drag him underneath the ship,
A terrifying deadly trip.

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber,
Send him down to the depths below.
Make that bastard walk the plank,
With a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho.

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber,
Send him down to the depths below.
Make that bastard walk the plank,
With a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho.

To The End Of Our Days

Another day goes by, another setting sun
As the light begins to fade
Upon this silent ship I now chart a course
Yet no wind blows these tattered sails
For reasons lost to time, that I cannot recall
Alone I sail the endless seas
The hands of fate have slain the crew, my only friends
And soon this doom will come for me

And I look back and wonder
Of the times we once shared

I stand here alone on the bow of the ship
Counting the hours 'til I die
Abandoned to fate with no chance of return
I raise up my fist to the sky
But know that these days were the best of our lives
And nothing can take that away
So when we are dead we will all meet again
And fight to the end of our days

Many years have I wandered
Alone and afraid
It seems now I've found a reason to live
As I stare at my grave

I ride the endless tide that's carried me so long
Heavy heart and broken soul
Would this have always been ? Is this destiny ?
I raise my head and onwards go.

And I know that the end comes
There's no reason to be scared

I stand here alone on the bow of the ship
Counting the hours 'til I die
Abandoned to fate with no chance of return
I raise up my fist to the sky
But know that these days were the best of our lives
And nothing can take that away
So when we are dead we will all meet again
And fight to the end of our days

Black Sails At Midnight

Pirate Song



Chronicles Of Vengeance



Wolves Of The Sea

[ reprise de Pirates Of The Sea ]

With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea

Don't try to run it's all set and done
There's treasure in sight
We are robbing you blind I hope you don't mind
We are taking it all tonight

Just walk away we'll count it all
Pirates will stand and the loser will fall

With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing
Pirates are all we can be

With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea

Down to the core we're coming for more
With a sword close at hand
We are scary and bold chest full of gold
We get sealegs when sighting land

The hook of our captain is looking at you
There's no Peter Pan so what can you do

With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
