Carving a Crimson Career Lyrics


we've been sailing too long

on these cruel seas

fighting for our lives

against the king

no more petty squables

this is for blood

but after these past months

i can't remember a thing

i've had my share

of bad deals

on this crusade

i feel this one

may be the worst

head swiming with rum

i just signed my whole crew

to the blood-thirsty french Levasseur

chorus:

pain, regret, life, and death

are these what we bargained

to uphold with every breath?

pain, regret, life, and death

be careful who you bargain with

then stab in the back

no more regrets

for all that i've done

this bastard will pay

ere the set of the sun

he cannot match my wit

for he's not of the lord

so we'll have to test his skills

with the edge of the sword

i've had my share

of bad deals

on this crusade

this one turned out

to be the worst

i cannot bear to see

the one i love in distress

the frenchman will pay

with his blood

chorus:

now my blade

consumes him

and the deal is done

i always finish what i started

and i've always won

nevermore will greed

interfere with our deeds

we live only for vengeance

to make the king bleed
