HEAVY METAL PIRATES

Sailing the seven seas of metal,
we thirst for blood,
your ship is in our sights.
Taste a broadside from our cannons of steel.
Before our cutlasses of metal you shall kneel

We are Heavy Metal Pirates,
we sail across the sky,
in our battleships of cosmic steel.
We're the terror up on high.

We are Heavy Metal Pirates.
Our cutlasses are true,
so give us all your treasure,
or soon we'll come for you

The wind is in our sails,
and fate is on our side,
so raise the Jolly Roger and sail into the night.
We're warriors of steel,
upon the Spanish Main.
No quarter for the poseurs,
we'll bring them death and pain

We are Heavy Metal Pirates,
we sail across the sky,
in our battleships of cosmic steel.
We're the terror up on high.

We are Heavy Metal Pirates.
Our cutlasses are true,
so give us all your treasure,
or soon we'll come for you

CAPTAIN MORGAN'S REVENGE

Countless years ago while lost in barren seas,
there whispered murmurs of a blood mutiny.
We took up arms and slayed the officers of rank,
and with swords drawn made the captain walk the plank.

And as he fell down to the depths,
he swore a deadly curse.
''As sure as hell's my final fate,
you'll all soon die or worse''
Now as we stand before the gallows,
waiting for the end,
I'll say these final words my friend

At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig,
so raise up your pint of rum and take another swig.
The curse of Captain Morgan,
has led us to this fate,
so have no fear and don't look back,
the afterlife awaits

We returned to port with sorrow in our chests.
An evil shadow followed us on every quest.
Never to feel joy again was our fate,
only misery and death,
fear and burning hate

We broke the law,betrayed the code,
now time is running out.
An unforgivable offence,
of that there is no doubt.
Now as we stand before the gallows,
waiting for the end,
I'll say these final words my friend

At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig,
so raise up your pint of rum and take another swig.
The curse of Captain Morgan,
has led us to this fate,
so have no fear and don't look back,
the afterlife awaits

Many years have passed now,
yet the curse still lives on,
and now we rot in a black prison cell,
waiting for our true calling in hell!

But for the lives we leave behind,
don't shed a tear, don't cry.
The only way to break this curse,
is for us all to die.
Now as we stand before the gallows,
waiting for the end,
I'll say these final words my friend

At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig,
so raise up your pint of rum and take another swig.
The curse of Captain Morgan,
has led us to this fate,
so have no fear and don't look back,
the afterlife awaits *

NANCY THE TAVERN WENCH

I know of a tavern,
not far from here,
where you can get,
some mighty fine beer.
The company's true,
and the wenches are pretty.
It's the greatest d*mn place,
in the whole of the city.
If you're looking for crewmates,
you'll sure find 'em there.
Cutthroats and lowlifes,
and worse I should dare.
Ol' Nancy don't care,
who comes to her inn.
It's a den of debauchery,
violence and sin

So come take a drink,
and drown your sorrows,
and all of our fears,
will be gone til tomorrow.
We'll have no regrets,
and live for the day,
in Nancy's Harbour Cafe

If you're looking to go,
on a glorious quest,
there's a man there who knows,
of an old treasure chest.
For some pieces of eight,
and a tankard of ale,
he'll show you the map,
and tell you it's tale.
And then there's Nancy,
the lovely barmaiden,
she may be old,
but her beauty ain't faidin'.
Ol' Nancy don't care,
who comes to her inn.
It's a den of debauchery,
violence and sin

So come take a drink,
and drown your sorrows,
and all of our fears,
will be gone til tomorrow.
We'll have no regrets,
and live for the day,
in Nancy's Harbour Cafe *

OVER THE SEAS

Many moons ago,
in a faraway land,
we met an old man,
with a hook for a hand.
He showed us a map,
that lead to treasure untold.
He said ''I'll give ye the map,
if ye give me some gold''

For some pieces of eight,
the deal was done.
He gave us the map,
our quest had begun.
We gathered our crew,
and set sail on the waves,
and we knew we'd be rich,
by the end of the day

Now we're sailing over oceans and seas,
with a l*st for gold,
and the power of steel

Over the seas,
we shall ride,
searching for treasure,
into the night.
Over the seas,
our quest has begun,
and we will not stop,
with the dawn of the sun

Through treacherous seas,
we reached the lost isle,
and over it's s s,
we marched for many miles,
until we discovered where the treasure did lie,
with gold coins and jewels,
gleaming inside

Now we're sailing over oceans and seas,
with a l*st for gold,
and the power of steel

Over the seas,
we shall ride,
searching for treasure,
into the night.
Over the seas,
our quest has begun,
and we will not stop,
with the dawn of the sun

And we will be home,
by the dawn of the sun *

THE QUEST

From lands across the sea,
we have returned once more,
with countless treasures plundered,
from those distant s s.
But now the time has come,
our destiny at hand.
With cannonfire and battlecry,
we will reclaim this land

Misery and slaughter,
we left burning in our wake.
A legacy of torment,
is rightfully ours to take

We sail the endless oceans.
We sail the raging seas.
The quest is never ending.
It leads us to destiny

The endless quest,
is calling us another time.
The jolly roger,
in the sky is our sign.
The mountains shook,
the seas began to boil,
as we set out again,
to conquer foreign soil

Misery and slaughter,
we left burning in our wake.
A legacy of torment,
is rightfully ours to take

We sail the endless oceans.
We sail the raging seas.
The quest is never ending.
It leads us to destiny *

KEELHAULED

My friends I stand before you,
to tell a truth most dire.
There lurks a traitor in our midsts,
who hath invoked the captain's ire

He 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 b*stard 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 b*stard 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 them 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 them where he's gonna go

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber.
Send him down to the depths below.
Make that b*stard 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 b*stard walk the plank,
with a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho *

PIRATE SONG

Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man,
I once had the heart of a lion.
Commanded my ship between many a s ,
the ol' Jolly Roger a-flyin

Mine was a name that struck fear into men,
and regret into plenty of lasses.
Oh how I wish I could take back those days,
as I stare at these empty beer-glasses

I think of the times past when I had it all.
I toyed with men's wives and their daughters.
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth,
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered

And for what?
The men that I've fought,
are matched by the number of women I've bought.
And for what?
I've killed and I've shot,
and reddened the cold tears of children with blood.
And If I could go back,
and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
I'd kill every last one of those b*stards,my friend

My ship was the last sight that many would see,
as we narrowed the gap with our quarry.
The sound of the cannons and splintering wood,
would herald our paths into glory

We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship,
our hearts hadn't time for the wounded.
I took my share and the crew got the rest,
and on into port we then bounded

Life has many pleasures and we had our fill,
of food and of wenches and beer.
When we'd tired of the port or had drunken it dry,
the time to set sail would come near

And for what?
The men that I've fought,
are matched by the number of women I've bought.
And for what?
I've killed and I've shot,
and reddened the cold tears of children with blood.
And If I could go back,
and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
I'd kill every last one of those b*stards,my friend

Oh I have seen wonders you'd never have dreamed,
and taken my fair share I must say.
Holds full of booty I happily siezed,
from crews who would not see a new day

Spanish gold came and went.
Gem stones got sold.
But I knew more lay on the horizon,
yet the beer was too good,
and the gals were too sweet,
and now in my old age it's gone

These memories were bought with the lives of good men,
a price that I paid without scruple.
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk,
and swagger from brothel to brothel

And for what?
The men that I've fought,
are matched by the number of women I've bought.
And for what?
I've killed and I've shot,
and reddened the cold tears of children with blood.
And If I could go back,
and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
I'd kill every last one of those b*stards,my friend *

Right. a little help required. pricing up PAUL WELLER tickets for Novembre. i noticed ALESTORM and SABATON are playing a small joint gig not too many miles from me in Octobre..fairly cheap tickets too..is worth a look for someone un initiated such as me? *

ruoska 23.05.10 - 08:40pm
Sabaton was great live when I saw them last year, don't know Alestorm. Over the Sea's beginning sounds awfully lot like Turisas's Battle Metal btw *

ruoska 24.05.10 - 07:07am
Well in this case it sounds awfully lot like plagiarizing so I'm not sure if it's such a good thing. But I might remember wrong. Should check into it *

aenglisc 25.05.10 - 04:58pm
Yeah.Had chance to hear it.. i could hear what you mean.. and it is very similar..but not close enough to call plaigerism..ha. i was convinced it was till i played them along side...unless they played it backwardchin.GIF *
