Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge lyrics

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