Screams from the south Strange laughter in the air A curse from beyond The buried secret of Cape Cod Driftin’ in pain On the island deserted The Malefice Hill Cold grasp on me heart Forsaken spirits from ancient times between the thick fog Unearthly beings Faceless guardians of the cursed treasure The wreck of our old ship lies stranded in the bay Victims of our own lust we were condemned by Sister Death Demons dancing under the moonlight Tinging our dreams with madness Me sleep won’t find me anymore Eternal nights of agony The bloody moon is screaming Howling of desire Can’t resist the Golden Skull’s lure Sinister eyes of terror An endless bloody curse The wicked secret of Cape Cod Forsaken spirits from ancient times between the thick fog Children of greed Bearers of the curse of the Golden Skull Cursed by the Golden Skull

A good breakfast is by far the best way to start another pillage and-a plunder day There’s perhaps best breakfast than liquor? And there is maybe best liquor than rum? So I head to the hold with a satisfied smile Biding farewell to sobriety But I’ll be damned if some infamous rogue did not steal all the cans CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone Take out the loot right now CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone Bring it all back CHOIR: I wanna drink now I need to drink right now CHOIR: Where hath th hard stuff gone? 24 barrels of Puerto Rican Dried up until the last drop Bring me the culprit, bring ‘im before me That blasted wretch’s gonna feed the fish Investigate the ship Interrogate the crew They all seem dry like me May this be a curse by the gods of the sea? CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone Take out the loot right now CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone Bring it all back CHOIR: I wanna drink now I need to drink right now CHOIR: Where hath th hard stuff gone? 24 barrels of Puerto Rican Dried up until the last drop Bring me the culprit, bring ‘im before me That blasted wretch’s gonna feed the fish A good breakfast is by far the best way to start another pillage and-a plunder day But today the day started so damn bad An’ can only go worse if we don’t find all the cans In the end it turned out that the captain wuz to blame The paunchy motherfucker drank an’ boozed like a whale so I had to go back workin’ sober an’ polite with no bottle in me hand for the first time in me life CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone Take out the loot right now CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone Bring it all back CHOIR: I wanna drink now I need to drink right now CHOIR: Where hath th hard stuff gone? 24 barrels of Puerto Rican Dried up until the last drop Bring me the culprit, bring ‘im before me That blasted wretch’s gonna feed the fish

Ship keeps-a to roll and pitch I lay in shackles in the hold Betrayed by my old mates It will not end like this At the first chance I’m out I’m diving off the ship and deep into the High Seas Cold Death beneath the Wave Bitter end in cold waters sharp as blades Better to end up-a drifting and let the ocean be my grave than murdered by the hands of my old mates The mournful wind is roaring He’s roaring in the waves My only chance to escape I hear them coming down They’re coming down to take me They drag me on the deck Tie me to the mast The show is going to start They want some blood to flow Some heads to roll And justice will be done But before they start I’m out of board Death beneath the Wave Bitter end in cold waters sharp as blades Better to end up-a drifting and let the ocean be my grave than murdered by the hands of my old mates CHOIR: DEATH CHOIR: DEATH CHOIR: DEATH CHOIR: DEATH CHOIR: DEATH Floating on the deep blacks CHOIR: DEATH Facing the storm of terror CHOIR: DEATH Miles away from the earth CHOIR: DEATH Beneath the Wave Floating on the deep blacks Facing the storm of terror Miles away from the earth The freezing grip of death is near Waves keep to sway and break I float adrift in nothingness Got rid by my old mates Those whom I hath betrayed

Caraibica 05:17
By the westerly driven towards the sunset of Caribbean Sea Painted red by the dying rays of the setting sun clouds fill up the sky Lulled by the rolling under the gentle touch of the singing of the waves Caraibica keeps following his route in search of relentless liberty Warmed by the setting sun Caraibica fears no one The merchants of the Flota de Indias call her Flagelo del Mar The bowsprit cleaves the air The Jolly Roger is waving fair The sky is clear, the wind is up, In full sail toward the horizon Cruisin’On Hugging Hispaniola coasts Passing through Bahama channel Shores of Cuba in sight off the port bow Let’s sing a-long with this pirate crew a song of beautiful liberty As the smell of the marine breeze fill our dreamin’ hearts in the shades of dusk Caraibica’s everlasting aimless quest it will never end By the westerly driven towards the sunset of Caribbean Sea Caraibica Poner el miedo en el alma del viajero Isla Grenada hasta Cañeveral Caraibica Flagelo del Mar Caraibica Majestuoso galeòn, reina del terror nos llevan a través de mil cruces Caraibica nos hace soñar Caraibica Poner el miedo en el alma del viajero Isla Grenada hasta Cañeveral Caraibica Flagelo del Mar Caraibica Majestuoso galeòn, reina del terror nos llevan a través de mil cruces Caraibica nos hace soñar Caraibica Flagelo del Mar

Not long ago I’ve heard this terrifyin’ tale ‘bout a cap’n of unprecedented cruelty Johnny wuz his name, by fear an’ terror he commanded until his tired an’ angry crew planned mutiny The cap’n wuz-a caught by this revenge thirsting horde Some scallywag came out with a cat o’nine tails There wuz a consultation, his punishment decided A ramble through the dark cold water under the keel The ropes were tied tight to his ankles an’ his wrists Down there wuz full o’sharks so hungry for fresh meat Ya-ha-harrrr laughed the lads loud as hell The worst evil wishes an’ curses they yelled The cap’n wuz-a struggling underwater for his life When he tore the rope with its sharklike steely bite He clung the cord with steady hand an’ then began to climb Sharkbite Johnny wuz returning to life Dead silence fell on deck then came a curse an’then a pray The cap’n came on board, he wuz back among his mates The looking in his eyes would cringe-a Satan himself Sharkbite Johnny wuz ready for revenge

Mesmerized by siren’s song, heard the lure of evil Deep into the sailors mind, someone calls’em there Atmosphere is threatening an’ storming clouds come closer Through electric bolts we’re sailing straight towards hell Gathering of lost souls, vessels cemetery Abyss of perdition, point of no return Neverending labyrinth, cradle of possession, Caught up in the straits of chaos, we’ll never get back Bringing us insanity, leading us to madness Taking desperation and confusion in our hearts Leading all the unfortunates down into oblivion I know now, we’ll never see the land again A vortex of death appears before us Ruthless black waves make us dance with fear CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Trapped into the nothing CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Entangled in the straits of chaos Ghosts of the old sailors curse my soul Hallucinations fill my brain ravaged CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Prisoner of folly CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Entangled in the straits of chaos By the wraiths surrounded, spirits of the oceans Hellish apparitions, creatures of the sea Pelagus inhabitants, dancers of the abyss Sent by the Devil to bring us before Him Power of the dark tides blows away the rigging Shattering the top sails, bringing down the mast Sharp black rocks break up the bulkhead So we’re all doomed to get lost in the fog A vortex of death appears before us Ruthless black waves make us dance with fear CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Trapped into the nothing CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Entangled in the straits of chaos Ghosts of the old sailors cursin’ my soul Hallucinations fill my brain ravaged CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Prisoner of folly CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Entangled in the straits of chaos Straits of chaos So we’re all falling down Sinking in the dephts of this bottomless pit Wondering if we ever get out of here If we ever see again our loved faces Life it seems so far away Misfortune has befallen us, hated by the gods To run into this cursed place For us nocturnal moon’s not likely to rise more Mesmerized by siren’s song, heard the lure of evil Deep into the sailors mind, someone calls’em there Atmosphere is threatening an’ storming clouds come closer Through electric bolts we’re sailing straight towards hell Gathering of lost souls, vessels cemetery Abyss of perdition, point of no return Neverending labyrinth, cradle of possession, Caught up in the straits of chaos, we’ll never get back A vortex of death appears before us Ruthless black waves make us dance with fear CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Trapped into the nothing CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Entangled in the straits of chaos Ghosts of the old sailors curse my soul Hallucinations fill my brain ravaged CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Prisoner of folly CHOIR: Here I am! Here I am! Entangled in the straits of chaos Straits of chaos

Bloodrage in his veins like a furious squall in the open sea Gaze of fire threw embers burning bright wherever he laid his eyes They say his heart stopped beating on board the mighty ship the Neptune Grim flag of Vane was overthrew and a new king’s banner raised New king of the seas rose high into the sky black eyes of fear Sunken in the white skull wrapped in the colours of the night A pair of cutlasses below the evil sneer that mocked the world Before which thousand enemies as well as friends with terror bowed Wrapped in the colours of the night Rose high into the sky Lend an ear to the words Lend an ear to the words of scorn Lend an ear to the words of scorn spoken by the beloved one Spoken by Anne, the beloved one Mother of his son Last words of disdain heard from above the gallows pole You need not have hanged like a dog! Most feared than the Storm Drifter unstoppable Bearer of the Roger Faster than the sails of Fate And now all that is left of his deeds Hovers the waves of a small cay And they were cursed from the Roger itself Tormenting for centuries the seas once their That beside his master once He plowed Those proud colours that never dropped low Thou who sail under the mark of black Where will you go when the tide rises higher Where will you stand when the wind blows wilder Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Thou who smile in the face of death Lonesome vagrant in an endless chase Come along matey, we’re all bound away Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Thou who sail under the mark of black Where will you go when the tide rises higher Where will you stand when the wind blows wilder Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Thou who smile in the face of death Lonesome vagrant in an endless chase Come along matey, we’re all bound away Under the Flag of Calico Jack! —CHOIR: Under the Flag Under the Flag Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Under the Flag Under the Flag Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Under the Flag Under the Flag Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Under the Flag Under the Flag Under the Flag of Calico Jack! —END CHOIR Bloodrage in his veins like a furious squall in the open sea Gaze of fire threw embers burning bright wherever he laid his eyes They say his heart stopped beating on board the mighty ship the Neptune Grim flag of Vane was overthrew and a new king’s banner raised

Jolie Rouge 06:23
Crimson flag Certain death Waves on the horizon the red jack Bad luck Struck us No one be spared, no quarter at all Laughing skull Jolie Rouge Banner of despair an’ terror Gentlemen Time to fight Don’t give up, take heart an’ roar, o wolves o’the sea! Now this is Seaman’s life Spending our days in jeopardy Hoping not To find ourselves Under the eyes of the symbol cursed We are the robbers Rascals an’ pyrates Stand on our course And ye are condemned Admire our colours Crimson as blood Ye will succumb Under the jack Hear in the air the thunder of cannons No mercy at all, no one should survive Jolie Rouge Prepare to die When as a young man I decided To browse by the sea I swore I’de never been afraid of anything When I put my foot on board Captain gave word to go to the sword Under the jack Hear in the air the thunder of cannons No mercy at all, no one should survive Jolie Rouge Jolie Rouge Hear in the air the thunder of cannons No mercy at all, no one should survive Jolie Rouge Jolie Rouge Jolie Rouge Prepare to die
