The Crone Lyrics


Knox; The fog was thick it swallowed us

The sea was deathly quiet

That woman's curse was haunting us

But we were drowned in silence

Glynn: Three nights had passed they were locked in his quarters

We kept on our course sailing out there blind

We all had the fear something horrid was coming

But hoped the good lord was still on our side

Smythe: On the fourth morning they finally opened

And came on the deck with sparks in their eyes

Quiet as graves they walked out among us

Thank god our captain is still alive

Where 's our gold ?

The treasures we 're told ?

The riches we promised

To bring back home ?

Where 's our gold ?

How far will we go ?

We 're waiting for orders

To take our post

Knox; As they were sleeping we hid in a corner

And saw her come out all alone on the prow

She climbed on the ledge and the moonlight revealed her

An ugly and frightful wrinkled old crone

Smythe: She saw me and laughed my blood started freezing

She took off her clothes and walked on the plank

She pointed at me as she jumped and she told me

Sea Witch Nerissa: Go thank your Captain! He gave me a son!

Where 's our gold ?

The treasures we 're told ?

The riches we promised

To bring back home ?

Where 's our gold ?

How far will we go ?

We 're waiting for orders

To take our post

Glynn: The captain stood behind the helm

We told him what had happened

He frowned and said

Captain: Don't worry lads. I ,too, got what I was after.

Where 's our gold ?

The treasures we 're told ?

The riches we promised

To bring back home ?

Where 's our gold ?

How far will we go ?

We 're waiting for orders

To take our post
