(album: Electric Messiah - 2018)

Open the seas to my plight
Winds in the gales of desire
Scourge of the port towns in sight
Cannons lay waste

And there's salt in our veins, giving death is our trade to the end
Skeletal flag and the fires that blaze seen for miles
Sword to the throat of the innocent
Black is our storm and you'll never escape our attack

The Crown and The Royals conspire
Sending the men

On a quest with Sir Drake to the cities to be played or sacked
No quarter to give, no prisoners will live past the hour
Sword to the throat of the innocent
Letter marquee for the crimes done at sea, crowns conspire

The corpse of the bastard is nigh
Brave men will kneel and die
The cowards and women will run
Murder and rape

And there's salt in our veins, giving death is our trade to the end
Skeletal flag and the fires that blaze seen for miles
Sword to the throat of the innocent
Black is our storm and you'll never escape our attack

Keelhauled and nailed to the mast
I've read the stars and crossed the leagues to bring you death
Death!
