Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge lyrics
rate me<div class="showResultLinks">Countless years ago while lost in barren seas<br />
There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny<br />
We took up arms and slain the officers of rank<br />
And with swords drawn made the captain walk the plank<br />
<br />
And as he fell down to the depths<br />
He swore a deadly curse<br />
"As sure as hell's my final fate<br />
You'll all soon die, or worse"<br />
Now as we stand before the gallows<br />
Waiting for the end<br />
I'll say these final words my friend<br />
<br />
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig<br />
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig<br />
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate<br />
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits<br />
<br />
We returned to port with sorrow in our chests<br />
An evil shadow followed us on every quest<br />
Never to feel joy again was our fate<br />
Only misery and death, fear and burning hate<br />
<br />
We broke the law, betrayed the code<br />
Now time is running out<br />
An unforgivable offence<br />
Of that there is no doubt<br />
Now as we stand before the gallows<br />
Waiting for the end<br />
I'll say these final words my friend<br />
<br />
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig<br />
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig<br />
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate<br />
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits<br />
<br />
Many years have passed now<br />
Yet the curse still lives on<br />
And now we rot in a black prison cell<br />
Waiting for our true calling in hell<br />
But for the lives we leave behind<br />
Don't she'd a tear, don't cry<br />
The only way to break this curse<br />
Is for us all to die<br />
Now as we stand before the gallows<br />
Waiting for the end<br />
I'll say these final words my friend<br />
<br />
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig<br />
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig<br />
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate<br />
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits</
