Alestorm

Alestorm - Death Before The Mast lyrics

rate me

First light reflects off the ocean

All crew now set into motion

Another day like many before it

Hard life, no way to ignore it

Behold! A cry from the crow's nest

A ship appears from the south west

The years below deck that bored me

All lead to what lies before me

Hear the terror - Fires burn and cannons sound

Fate awaits me - As the vessels circle round

See the slaughter - Cutlass swings and pistols fire

Feel the anger - Raging through my body tires

One last battle - In this sailor's lonely war

Come to meet this - Destiny I can't ignore

I hold my breath - Close my eyes and hang on for

Death before the mast

Too late to lay low or outrun

Up close we're outmanned and outgunned

Prepare to rush forth, unleash hel

Cross swords in one final farewell

Hulls crash, our vessel is boarded

No mercy or tact is afforded

But now the King's men draw closer

Seems like it may all be over

Hear the terror - Fires burn and cannons sound

Fate awaits me - As the vessels circle round

See the slaughter - Cutlass swings and pistols fire

Feel the anger - Raging through my body tires

One last battle - In this sailor's lonely war

Come to meet this - Destiny I can't ignore

I hold my breath - Close my eyes and hang on for

Death before the mast
