ALESTORM _BLACK SAILS AT MIDNIGHT

THE QUEST
From lands across the sea we have returned once more
With countless treasures plundered from those distant shores
But now the time has come, our destiny at hand
With cannonfire and battlecry we will reclaim this land
Misery and slaughter we left burning in our wake
A legacy of torment is rightfully ours to take
We sail the endless oceans
We sail the raging seas
The quest is never ending
It leads us to destiny
The endless quest is calling us another time
The jolly roger in the sky is our sign
The mountains shook, the seas began to boil
As we set out again to conquer foreign soil
Misery and slaughter we left burning in our wake
A legacy of torment is rightfully ours to take
We sail the endless oceans
We sail the raging seas
The quest is never ending
It leads us to destiny

LEVIATHAN
Legend speaks of a beast
Three hundred miles from it's tip to it's tail
None have seen it, yet all know it's name
Like the ark of the covenant, or the holy grail
We set out on a quest
In search of the lair, where the creature doth dwell
On a ransom to bring back it's head
Our journey would take us to the depths of hell
His eyes shine like the rays of morning
His mouth is as a burning flame

THAT FAMOUS OL' SPICED
Many a year I have worked in these parts
Running this inn that ain't marked on no charts
Though its location to many is known
If you're to find it you have to be shown
Through methods long hidden we carefully craft
A beverage to rival the Huntmaster's draught
The mere smell of which, the Gods would entice
And them that know call it that Famous Ol' Spiced
Here sits a man, a smuggler by trade
A-boastin' of all of the money he's made
Runnin' his liquor to here and to there
Travellin' all over and peddlin' his wares
He says he's had beers from Prussia and wines
Taken from all of the very best vines
But none of these tipples could ever suffice
So I'll bring him a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
Oh, pour me a slug of it
Throw me a mug of it
Bring me a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
In walks a sailor all battered and blue
Fallen afoul of his captain and crew
They'd pulled in to port, their cargo was stacked
But three hours later he's caught in the act
Acquainting himself with the skipper's own wife
This fool was lucky to leave with his life
He's not here for doctors or friendly advice
He just wants a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
Oh, pour me a slug of it
Throw me a mug of it
Bring me a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
For men of the sea go as fast as they come
And leave little more than the tales they have spun
So sing me your sermon and pay me my price
And I'll give you a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced
Oh, pour me a slug of it
Throw me a mug of it
Bring me a jug of that Famous Ol' Spiced

KEELHAULED
My friends, I stand before you
To tell a truth most dire
There lurks a traitor in our midst
Who hath invoked the captain's ire
He don't deserve no mercy
We ought to shoot him with a gun
But I am not an evil man
So first let's have a little fun
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying, deadly trip
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below!
Make that bastard walk the plank, with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho!
[x2]
I will not say what he has done
His sins are far too grave to tell
It's not my place to judge a man
But for them he will burn in hell
The sharks will dine upon his flesh
And Davy Jones will have his soul
Take his money and his hat
He won't need them where he's gonna go
But first let's tie him to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying, deadly trip
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below!
Make that bastard walk the plank, with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho!
[x2]
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying, deadly trip
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below!
Make that bastard walk the plank, with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho!

TO THE END OF OUR DAYS
Another day goes by, another setting sun
As the light begins to fade
Upon this silent ship I now chart a course
Yet no wind blows these tattered sails
For reasons lost to time, that I cannot recall
Alone I sail the endless seas
The hands of fate have slain the crew, my only friends
And soon this doom will come for me
And I look back and wonder
Of the times we once shared
I stand here alone on the bow of the ship
Counting the hours 'til I die
Abandoned to fate with no chance of return
I raise up my fist to the sky
But know that these days were the best of our lives
And nothing can take that away
So when we are dead we will all meet again
And fight to the end of our days
Many years have I wandered
Alone and afraid
It seems now I've found a reason to live
As I stare at my grave
I ride the endless tide that's carried me so long
Heavy heart and broken soul
Would this have always been? Is this destiny?
I raise my head and onwards go.
And I know that the end comes
There's no reason to be scared
I stand here alone on the bow of the ship
Counting the hours 'til I die
Abandoned to fate with no chance of return
I raise up my fist to the sky
But know that these days were the best of our lives
And nothing can take that away
So when we are dead we will all meet again
And fight to the end of our days

BLACK SAILS AT MIDNIGHT
Go - the cold moonlight reflecting off your blade
So many centuries spent waiting for this day
Ride - across the seas beneath a blackened sail
Know that a painful death awaits us if we fail
Out of the darkness they came
With cannons a'raging and torches aflame
Slaying all poseurs who stand in their way
Black Sails at Midnight
You're dead by daylight
Black Sails at Midnight
Your fate - Too late
The time has come for you to face your darkest fears
Screams of agony are ringing in your ears
Die - a frenzied slaughter on the battlefield
Nowhere for you to run, tonight your fate is sealed
Out of the darkness they came
With cannons a'raging and torches aflame
Slaying all poseurs who stand in their way
Black Sails at Midnight
You're dead by daylight
Black Sails at Midnight
Your fate - Too late

NO QUARTER (sinfonico)

PIRATE SONG
Though you see me now, the mere ghost of a man,
I once had the heart of a lion.
Commanding my ship, between many a shore,
The ol' Jolly Roger a-flyin'.
Mine was a name that put fear into men,
And regret into plenty o' lasses.
Lo, how I wish I could take back those days,
As I stare at these empty beer glasses.
I think of the times past when I had it all,
I toyed with men's wives and their daughters.
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth,
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered.
And for what? (HEY! )
The men that I've fought,
Are matched by the number of women I've bought.
And for what? (HEY! )
I've killed and I've shot,
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood.
And if I could go back and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
And kill every last one of those bastards, my friend!
My ship was the last sight that many would see,
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry.
Sound of the cannons and splintering wood,
Did herald our pass into glory.
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship,
Our hearts hadn't time for no wounded.
I took my share and the crew got the rest,
And on into port we did bound it.
Life has many pleasures and we had our fill,
Of food and of wenches and beer.
When we tired of the port or had drunken it dry,
The time to set sail had come near.
And for what? (HEY! )
We heed no law,
The other man suffers so we can have more.
And for what? (HEY! )
We lived every day,
The noose of the hangman a hairsbreadth away.
And if I could go back and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
And kill every last one of those bastards, my friend!
Oh, I have seen wonders you never have dreamed,
And taken my fair share I must say.
Holds full of booty I happily seized,
From crews who would not see a new day.
Spanish gold came and went, and gemstones were sold,
And I knew more lay on the horizon.
Yet the beer was too good, and gals were too sweet,
And now in my old age, it's gone.
These memories were bought with the lives of good men,
A price that I paid without scruple.
So many so suffered so I could get drunk,
And swagger from brothel to brothel.
Now for what? (HEY! )
It's been many years,
The screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears.
But for what? (HEY! )
I've blood on my hands,
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned.
And if I could go back and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
I'D KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE BASTARDS, MY FRIENDS!

CHRONICLES OF VENGEANCE
A thunderous crash in the dead of the night
We ready our weapons, prepare for the fight
My band of comrades, so cruelly betrayed
Now face the cold edge of justice's blade
They knew how to hit us, they knew where to look
Our fortress was breached and its mighty walls shook
Accused of this treason, I fled to the sea
To track down the true source of that treachery
Sold out, betrayed
Attacked, besieged
Outcast, accused
Honour, refused
Ride
The Black Spot in my hand
On a quest for the truth
I scour the land
This traitorous curr
Shall die by my hand
If I'm to be spared
I must have his head
I shall not rest 'til this traitor is dead
I called in all favours, I bartered and bribed
I must find this turncoat, and find him alive
And so I was taken to a little old inn
And deep in his cups, my man sat within
We bitterly battled, but I won the fight
And tied him beneath the high tide mark that night
And when I'd made sure he could no longer stand
I left him there with that Black Spot in his hand
Avenged, absolved
Justice, made right
Vengeance, deserved
Honour, preserved
As the lifeless corpse of my enemy floats in the bay, choked on salty
brine, I swear a deadly oath.
By Poseidon's name, no traitor will go unpunished.
Hear these words and tremble, for our vengeance shall be swift and
merciless!

WOLVES OF THE SEA
With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show,
Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
Don't try to run it's all set and done
There's treasure in sight
We are robbing you blind
I hope you don't mind
We are taking it all tonight
Just walk away we will conquer it all
Pirates will stand and the loser will fall
With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand
on the bridge and sing
Pirates are all we can be
With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show,
Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
Down to the core we're coming for more
With a sword close at hand
We are scary and bold chest full of gold
We get sealegs when sighting land
The hook of our captain is looking at you
There's no Peter Pan so what can you do
With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show,
Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
