bleakness surrounds me

the cries of rebellion

steel meets the bone

as we defend our land

we've bowed to this tyrant

too long to remember

if we're to be free

he must die by my hand

chorus:

thrust into shackles and chained to the wall

but soon we'll break free of this hell

no more will my kind be made into slaves

to no tyrant our souls would we sell

we'll break free under the banner of blood

wind on my back

the sun will soon be setting

old ways behind me

i start a new life

now i will sail

in the shadows forgotten

from now on live

by the rules of the knife

chorus:

forever i'll sail these seven seas

straight on to the shores of hell

no more will my kind be made into slaves

to no devil our souls would we sell

for we sail under the banner of blood

feel no remorse

for the deeds we have done this day

the time for change

is here, old ways have failed

our thirst for vengeance

can never be quenched

nothing will stop us

for hell's gates we sail

chorus:

bridge:

rape the women

burn down the houses

murder the rich

if any man dare

cross me

skin him alive

burn the wretched wench

chorus:

thrust into shackles

and chained to the wall

but the heart of man did prevail

robbing the men of the king for revenge

haunting the seas where we sail
