Drink To The Devil
04:10
|
|||
|
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

Press Ganged
03:39

There’s no need to fight, there’s no need to fuss
There’s nowhere to run, you’re coming with us
We come out of the black
We strike from the back
It’s a lightning attack
You’re Press Ganged!
We stay out of sight, we won’t make a sound
The next thing you’ll know you’ll be ocean bound
We come out of the black
We strike from the back
It’s a lightning attack
You’re Press Ganged!
It’s a lightning attack
Now your whole World’s turned black
There’s no turning back

Horizons
01:23
|
|||
|
I turn my eyes to the distant horizon
Where the sky meets the sea
Somehow I feel that my destiny lies on
Where the sky meets the sea
The golden prize of which everyone speaks is
Where the sky meets the sea
Hours turn to days and days into weeks
Where the sky meets the sea

The Siren's Song
07:04
|
|||
|
Fifteen weeks upon the waves, the barrel’s running dry
I’ve been away from home so long, I feel like I could die
Then suddenly across the seas
A distant voice floats on the breeze…
“Come to me!”
Could it all be in my mind? We’ve been at sea so long
Yet once again it comes to me, the sweetest sounding song
Above the sound of crashing seas
That voice is there upon on the breeze
“Calling out to you men of the sea with my enchanted melody
Feel my haunting rhapsody bewitch your soul and come to me”
Many wrecks lie on the rocks, led into her trap
We have to turn this ship around, just don’t look back
Turn tail and run across the seas
While that voice cries on the breeze
“Calling out to you men of the sea with my enchanted melody
Feel my haunting rhapsody bewitch your soul and come to me”

Sail On

When you hear temptation call and you think that you might fall
Just hoist your mainsail high and sail on
Never let your eyes be diverted from the prize
Just hoist your mainsail high and sail on
Sail on, Sail on
If you feel life brings you down and you’re trying not to drown
Just hoist your mainsail high and sail on
If you’re struggling my friend, you’ll get there in the end
Just hoist your mainsail high and sail on
Sail on, Sail on
If you’re struggling my friend, you’ll get there in the end
If you feel life brings you down and you’re trying not to drown
Sail On
When you hear temptation call and you think that you might fall
Never let your eyes be diverted from the prize
Sail On

Onward Through The Storm
03:06
|
|||
|
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!

Mutiny
04:50
|
|||
|
Out there in the darkness I see shadows in the night
I see the factions forming, something doesn’t feel so right
I hear the plots and scheming of murder in our beds
Their ruthless and conniving ways have raised their ugly heads
Some men are born to follow, others born to lead
Some they follow nothing more than treachery and greed
It’s mutiny!
Action must be taken to nip this in the bud
Those who seek to overthrow shall pay now with their blood
With ringleaders now swinging from the yard above the deck
To warn those who sought to follow will be hanging by the neck
Some men are born to follow, others born to lead
Some they follow nothing more than treachery and greed
It’s mutiny!

Almost There
04:57
|
|||
|
Underneath the burning sun we anchor in the bay
With pounding hearts we race ashore, the map to guide the way
Seven armed and dangerous men with murder in their eyes
A ruthless lot, you would not cross, they’d kill you if you tried
My whole life’s been one perilous journey
But now I feel I’m almost there
The road’s been long but I won’t falter in my quest
For I won’t rest ‘til I get my share
Of silver and gold
Passing every landmark ‘til the secret spot is found
Some fall upon their knees, clawing at the ground
Some wait with bated breath, or pray through gritted teeth
All eyes fixed on the dirt, just wondering what’s beneath
My whole life’s been one perilous journey
But now I feel I’m almost there
The road’s been long but I won’t falter in my quest
For I won’t rest ‘til I get my share
Of silver and gold

Whisper On The Breeze
04:12
|
|||
|
Here we are at journey’s end
There is no gold my friend
No “Happy Ever After” waits for me
What will be, will be
Like a whisper on the breeze,
Like sunlight through the trees
All my hopes and dreams
Fade and die
But I’ll not start to cry
Or hang my head and sigh
I won’t walk away and die
No not I, no not I
Lady Luck is not my friend
Fortune cheats me in the end
Destiny has always left me flat
While Providence just stabs me in the back
Like a whisper on the breeze,
Like sunlight through the trees
All my hopes and dreams
Fade and die
But I’ll not start to cry
Or hang my head and sigh
I won’t walk away and die
No not I, no not I
Like a whisper on the breeze…

Evermore
05:58
|
|||
|
Back on the waves with salt in their face
The thrill of adventure burning strong
They’ll seek out new treasure, they’ll hunt for new gold
Fuelled by rum and hearty song
So hoist up the sails to ride on the breeze
And plunder the seven seas
For evermore
The Siren’s been waiting, biding her time
Ruing the one that got away
The Eagle approaches, her song draws them in
This time no-one will be saved
Enticed to the rocks where there is no escape
They’ll rest in their watery graves
For evermore
With arms held aloft, enticing them down
The Siren embraces all her prey
The cries of their souls echo loud through the deep
Their life-less bodies float away
The crew of The Eagle is lost to the sea
But their legend lives on and on
For evermore
