Lyrics Dimitrios Agathangelidis – The Black Pearl | New Today Lyrics

Me wasn’t but a boy, razor hadn’t touched my cheeks
When our crew set to hunt out the great outlaws of the seas
We did our job and did it well, hadn’t missed a mark
‘Till that God-forsaken barc

Her masts wearing shreds, vultures ‘bove crow’s nest
Weather’s scratched the name off, the ocean’s claimed the moor
The Black Pearl’s on the move

‘T was no more than a matchbox next to our frigate
And her guns were hardly half in number and in weight
But she run fast as if she had the Devil up her skirt
Manned by the undead

Mad are they who went where no man should have gone
Cursed those who are governed by their pride and greed alone
Doomed to float, damned to drift, joy never to meet
In food, company, or drink

Her hull’s now a wreck, ghouls now roam the deck
Her once angel-like figurehead now a demon’s form
The Black Pearl’s on the move

“All hands on deck!
Canons ready!
On my mark!
Blast those bastards back to Hell!
Fire!”

It goes without saying, the foe was never caught
For years she sailed just out of range, as if to tease or mock
We’d left home as hunters, as wrecks went back ashore
Deep scars our souls bore

None of us fathered kids, none of us had a wife
And those who died, it was their very hand that took their life
And though no one’s taken ship since, the horizon we still stare
For us, she’s always there

Caution won’t suffice, courage will demise
When this fiend from Hell’s been released upon the world
The Black Pearl’s here tonight

Prayers can not help, arms can not protect
When the Devil’s ship has been sent to set a debt
The Black Pearl’s came for me
