I never had a lover and I never had a wife I was sold off to the navy for a very meager price At the age of seventeen, I'd spent half my life at sea Where I learned of all the hardships that a life on deck can mean I've been tied up in the rigging, I've been flogged around the fleet Been the captains' scapegoat every time we've seen defeat While us wapping boys where strung up and keel hauled from the plank I watched the finer fellas move unscathed up the ranks
Fate has brought me down this lane Nothing to be gained All I know is this in these sails But now it's time to tilt the scales
Bloody but unbowed I stand tall at the oar And I'll climb their scaffold once they bring me back to shore I'm master of my fate, I am captain of my soul And I'll ride this boat, all the way, to hell
Sick of all the countless ways this game of life is rigged I rallied every ruthless Jack, that sailed upon our brig See, destiny intended to take food right off my plate I decided we should try to fight our biased fate A moonlit night at sea, many miles away from land We stormed the captain's cabin with marlin spikes in hand From the officers quarters echoed screams out through the night As we cut down every ranking fucker who put up a fight

I've been called the ocean terror, the foul saltwater scourge An enemy to mankind, that surely must be purged But enlisted press ganged sailors, I parley just with thee Gather all your weapons and come roam the seas with me But do not be mistaken, this is a one way trip The last place you will call your home will be this haunted ship We are headed to the gallows or the bottom of the sea They'll catch us and they'll kill us, whichever first will be
Fate has brought me down this lane Nothing to be gained All I know is this in these sails But now it's time to tilt the scales
Bloody but unbowed I stand tall at the oar And I'll climb their scaffold once they bring me back to shore I'm master of my fate, I am captain of my soul And I'll ride this boat, all the way, to hellTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
