Drink To The Devil (single mix) 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Back in port after sixty days at sea, a hot meal and ale is what we need So we head to the tavern door and as we entered this is what we saw A drunken mob of scurvy dogs, raucous as they sang their song With a tankard in their hand, this is what they sang Damn your eyes and pass the rum! Drink! Drink! Drink! ‘til the devil comes Raise the flag and beat the drum We’ll drink to the devil and the midday sun Every drink loosened their lips and from their mouths a secret then did slip Of a dead man’s treasure chest, buried when he was laid to rest The map was in their hands, so to steal it we made plans With them distracted to a man as those sea dogs sang: Damn your eyes and pass the rum! Drink! Drink! Drink! ‘til the devil comes Raise the flag and beat the drum We’ll drink to the devil and the midday sun With the map we knew just what to do, lie in wait outside, press gang a crew Those dogs will be easy meat when they stumble out into the street By the dawn we’ll be out at sea, a fair wind is all we need The Eagle’s voyage can now begin, below the mast we’ll sing: Damn your eyes and pass the rum! Drink! Drink! Drink! ‘til the devil comes Raise the flag and beat the drum We’ll drink to the devil and the midday sun

Onward Through The Storm (single mix) 03:07
lyrics
buy track
The heavens open and the sky is turning black The waves are slamming like the ship’s under attack The thunder roars, the lightning strikes There’s not a hope in hell we’re turning back tonight Onward through the storm! There’s not a man who cannot feel it in his soul That fear and panic when the ship begins to roll The thunder roars, the lightning strikes There’s not a hope in hell we’re turning back tonight Onward through the storm!
