Raise the Black
04:58
|
|||
Sailing fast across the roaring sea
With our faces in the wind
Spyglass aimed towards a ship in sight
Let's get ready for the bloody fight
Pirates - we are legion
Black souls straight out of hell
Crossbones - our religion
We will raise the black
To strike the deepest fear in their heart
Branded and exiled we rise from the dark
Civilization is coming our way
And yet here we stay to raise the black
Growing danger, all the bravery fades
The reaper's calling loud their names
Hunted down, nowhere for them to run
Surrender now or die by sword and gun
Pirates - we are legion
Black souls straight out of hell
Crossbones - our religion
We will raise the black
To strike the deepest fear in their heart
Branded and exiled we rise from the dark
Civilization is coming our way
And yet here we stand until the end

Granite Heart
04:20
|
|||
Shine bright in the darkest time, your inner flame is glowing
Light it up like dinamite, till the shadows fade away
Shout loud the battlecry, your rebel blood is boiling
Tear down the caging walls, come along to rock the night
Hold fast, prepare to ride the storm
Stand tall, try not to fall
Granite heart - wild and free
Raising our fist of steel
Granite heart - strong and proud
Cranking up our metal sound
All around is the acrid smell of decaying society
Be aware and ready to face the greedy bastards in the way
They’d love to buy your soul, to force you into obedience
Yet you stay true to yourself, cause you know they’ll lose the game
Shine bright in the darkest time, your inner flame is glowing
Light it up like dinamite, till the shadows fade away

Brethren of the Coast
04:50
|
|||
Princes of thieves, the scourge of the seven seas
We're living wild and free, plundering as we please
We tame the waves, we dare the holy wrath
Fighting against the world, we always hold our ground
We hold our ground!
Cause we’re brothers in arms, united and free
Cursed by the damned for living our way
Ideal of freedom, defend it with force
Under the flag of the brethren of the coast
Gathered in packs, like dangerous wild animals
We keep on breaking down the chains of slavery
Tortuga Bay, home of this brotherhood
Our righteous code is written, now we’re all as one
We’re all as one!
Day after day we’re longing for victory
Oppression shall not prevail as long as we sail on
Oh we sail on!

Headless Rider
04:12
|
|||
Galloping horse in the dead of the night
You'd better be home, stay close to the light
Down to the village the horror is back
The horseman has risen to seek for your head
A crawling nightmare from the other side
There ain't no place to flee nor hide
From the Headless Rider
Fallen in battle long time ago
Decapitated in one fatal blow
The hessian, the soldier returns form the grave
To cut down the living, to challenge the brave
It’s useless to draw your sword in defense
Against evil powers you don’t stand a chance
Your desperate prayer cannot break his will
He doesn’t feel pity, he’s in for the kill
- solo by J1nSavage
Furious and savage he rides alone
Don’t be defiant, he’s bad to the bone
Here he comes with the blade in his hand
You won’t see tomorrow, brace yourself

Dead men tell no Tales
05:20
|
|||
Back to the hunt when the tide’s turning red
A long trail of blood is leading our path
We sold our souls, we killed many men
To lay our hands on the gold of the dead
On the sea of madness we sailed
Over the edge by the greed in our hearts
We follow the stars to a sinister shore
Where nobody dared to venture before
Torches alight, we break through the black
Finally reaching the spot on the map
Over shining pieces of eight
Terrible nightmares are taking form
Trembling bones, empty eyes
Ghastly figures into the light
Ruling over this haunted place
The Dead men, they tell no tales
Phantoms arise from the piles of gold
We’re meeting their gaze so lifeless and cold
Frozen in fear we can’t make a sound
Eternal damnation, that's all we found
With the bloody gold in our hands
Alongside the fallen we take our place

The Battle of Texel
04:40
|
|||
Falling snow, the sea of the north
The year 1795
Fourteen warships anchored at bay
The waters are freezing in cold
Icebound, no way to move
The dutch fleet’s left to her fate
Silent shadows approach
Claiming the prize in the dark
All hands on deck, the struggle is on
And soon they lose any hope
The battle fleet hides into the night
The moonbeams unveil the site
A rapid attack at the battle of Texel
Thundering hooves on the frozen sea
The cavalry rides on the breeze of the north wind
Bringing the dutch forces on their knees
The watchman awakens to find
The command vessel surrounded by soldiers
Boarding the sides, gaining control of the deck
The resistance is futile
Falling snow, the sea of the north
The year 1795
The capture's done right before the dawn
Without the spilling of blood
Icebound, no way to move
The dutch fleet’s left to her fate
Hundred hussars aboard
Taking the prize in the dark

Die for the Crown
04:35
|
|||
Day by day we are marching on to war
Boots like lead as they sink into the ground
Trapped in blindness, quiet and tamed
Thousand pawns playing the game
We execute, no matter why
We only know our duty is to
Stride till the distant battlefield
Creeping death lies in wait for us, yet we
Fight, kill, die
Die for the Crown
Fight, kill, die
Die for the regal Crown
Troops are waiting command, fear in their eyes
Running blood, it’s too late to ask the reason why
Tell me why!
Trapped in violence, hate and scorn
While the slaughter's raging on
The cries of battle fill the sky
There's no return, we're lost and doomed to
Fight, kill, die
Die for the Crown
Fight, kill, die
Die for the regal Crown

Invincible Armada
07:50
|
|||
Floating fortresses on the horizon
Towering bastions plowing the waves
Threatening sign of impending invasion
Thousand sails are covering the light of day
Taking on the whims of the weather
Never give in to misfortune and rain
Faithful sailors resist all together
“God will guide us to battle and victory”
The mighty fleet stands glorious and proud
No stormy wind shall take her down
Invincible Armada, the jewel of the king of Spain
She wages war on heresy, time will tell if fortune's on her side
The rival's waiting before the Channel
Clashing forces right into battle
Firing bombs, causing disaster
Blood and pain, smoke and thunder
- solo by Cederick Forsberg
Opponent's strife, the table is turning
Cannons fire, the flagships are burning
Armada's weight, her Achilles heel
She can't withstand the british privateers
Crushing failure and deep humiliation
Battered galleons leaving the fight
Storm and starvation sealing their fate
The holy mission has ended in tragedy
The mighty fleet is sinking to ground
Just like a giant falling down
Invincible Armada, the jewel of the king of Spain
She wages war on heresy, time will tell if fortune's on her side
