Intro verse After the ambush all crew was dead But one sailor lived and they brought him to deck He was a young lad shaking with fear Pirate captain said: just tie him here!
So he was tied to the mast in the heat, Bound so tight that he hardly could breathe The captain had one leg and covered in warts, And sank the merchant ship in the circle of sharks
Verse The Sun was sinking low over the sea, The sailor was half-dead upon his feet No food, no water, just heat and grief, He was close to fainting, he was so weak.
The air was clear and the sky full of stars, The waves were soft the silent the night He stared at the darkness, his ropes are his bed, Wanting to live but expecting death.
Chorus 2x The man with one leg commanded the ship His men lived in terror; aye, even they did He feared for his power and his heart full of hate Grief and blood followed wherever he sailed
Verse But when the Sun rose waking the ship, He thought they will come but nobody did The deck was busyand the pirates were loud, The day slowly passed and he was still bound
It was high noon and a hundred degrees When someone remembered and cut him free He collapsed but tried to stand up again Grabbing the mast with two shaking hands
Chorus 2x The man with one leg commanded the ship His men lived in terror; aye, even they did He feared for his power and his heart full of hate Grief and blood followed wherever he sailed
Slow verse ‘That one alive!' he heard the captain said ‘By Jove, I reckoned that he would be dead! Give him some drink! Water and rum! And you! Just get up! There's work to be done!'
And so it was that he was no more From the death of a sailor a pirate was born A pirate he became and a strong one at that, But the death of his mates he never forget.
Chorus 2x The man with one leg commanded the ship His men lived in terror; aye, even they did He feared for his power and his heart full of hate Grief and blood followed wherever he sailedTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
