Come my brothers, follow me. Stare at death and do not turn, We are lions of the sea, As our enemies shall learn... The day is ours the tide is calling, Drop the anchor, come with me... This is the storm that'll topple mountains, We are the men you shall live to fear, The moon is our guide it'll bring us glory, We are the lions of the sea! This is the storm that'll topple mountains, We are the men you shall live to fear, Time is against us the sky is falling, We are the lions of the sea! I'm the King, upon the sea. Cross my ship and you will burn, Black flags sale under me, I've crossed all corners of the Earth... The day is ours the tide is calling, Drop the anchor, come with me... This is the storm that'll topple mountains, We are the men you shall live to fear, The moon is our guide it'll bring us glory, We are the lions of the sea! This is the storm that'll topple mountains, We are the men you shall live to fear, Time is against us the sky is falling, We are the lions of the sea! The day is ours the tide is calling, Drop the anchor, come with me... We conquered the sea, We set our souls free, You will make it, you'll find, it's the best days on Earth... We conquered the sea, We set our souls free, You will make it, you'll find, it's the best days on Earth... Our glories you'll see. If you follow me, You will make it, you'll find, it's the best days on Earth... It's time to set sail... Who knows what quests await us? We conquered the sea, We set our souls free, You will make it, you'll find, it's the best days on Earth... Our glories you'll see. If you follow me, You will make it, you'll find, it's the best days on Earth... You will make it, you'll find, it's the best days on Earth...

All of my days I have turned to corruption, No man alive does deserve death more, The ferryman calls I await my fate now, Heading the call, to the Golden Shores... But now we see on the shores of the island, A great host of men but they're scarred and forlorn, Plagued and diseased are the men of the island, Take me from here I want death no more. Take me from here I resent my corruption, I have seen what awaits I must turn from here. No, Don't turn away... Look to the Golden Shores, Look to the skies above, And beyond the sun... Come, Don't turn away... The stars will guide our way, Set forth and come with me to Golden Shores... What lies ahead is the road to redemption, The stars in the sky be my guiding light. Take me from here I resent my corruption, I have seen what awaits I must turn from here. No, Don't turn away... Look to the Golden Shores, Look to the skies above, And beyond the sun... Come, Don't turn away... The stars will guide our way, Set forth and come with me to Golden Shores... 'Here I stand, you bow to me! Raging Storm God of the sea! All the dead belong to me! I seek the deaths that are to be...' Take me from here I resent my corruption, I have seen what awaits I must turn from here. No, Don't turn away... Look to the Golden Shores, Look to the skies above, And beyond the sun... Come, Don't turn away... The stars will guide our way, Set forth and come with me to Golden Shores...

Shanghai 04:08
It was a warm night, I went for a drink They came right up to me, they sensed my fear This could not end well, I had to escape And to my soul, Shanghai! Then one he said to me ‘I’ll buy you a drink’ Another lent in and said not to fear Here starts my journey, a tale of deceit And to my soul, Shanghai! Gagged and bound, I made no sound I’ve set sail for hell, farewell! My soul belongs to me Along with all my dreams You’ll never break me! Never take me! These are golden years I’ll die before I’m free A slave I am to be You’ll never break me! Never take me! Set me free! A blow it caught me, I fell to my feet The men were laughing, they bound and gagged me And then chucked me on board of their ship… And to my soul, Shanghai! Gagged and bound, I made no sound I’ve set sail for hell, farewell! My soul belongs to me Along with all my dreams You’ll never break me! Never take me! These are golden years I’ll die before I’m free A slave I am to be You’ll never break me! Never take me! Set me free! And to my soul, Shanghai!

Can you hear the silence call? Face the quiet and the cold, You can beat the morning blues Just do this and you won’t lose We've been running on and on Didn't think we'd last this long I would never let you go We will be here tomorrow Lost in a dream, An ageing madness Cast them away, Leave them silent Lost in a dream Reap the silence Cast them away Leave them silent When we wake it makes no sense... Leave my chariot of peace? I must beat the morning blues, This battle I won’t lose We've been running on and on Didn't think we'd last this long I would never let you go We will be here tomorrow Lost in a dream, An ageing madness Cast them away, Leave them silent Lost in a dream Reap the silence Cast them away Leave them silent Can you hear the silence call? Face the quiet and the cold, You can beat the morning blues, Just do this and you won’t lose You won’t lose Lost in a dream, An ageing madness Cast them away, Leave them silent Lost in a dream, An ageing madness Cast them away, Leave them silent

I must find the path that is right for me That is not your perfect way You must find the path that is right for you From this path, you must not stray Shape it from the start Until you reach the stars When you find, the warriors way, You will find your way You can find your way, The road is guiding you, You can save your self You know just what to do Never go back, to who you were before Your paths an open door The power you have inside Is what helps through your life Don't spend it in vain If you want to find your way Shape it from the start Until you reach the stars When you find, the warriors way, You will find your way You can find your way, The road is guiding you, You can save your self You know just what to do Never go back, to who you were before Your paths an open door Find your way, The road is guiding you, You can save your self You know just what to do Never go back, to who you were before Your paths an open door

The Gallows 02:48
It seems my days are done The sky’s red My crime can’t be undone Time’s dead And so, the gallows wait They’re going to seal my fate Now it beckons to me... Live strong Die free Head high No tears Bye to the world, send me from here So, it’s the gallows for me For me... The crowd wail and jeer They don’t know my fear They curse and they spit Condemned to the pits And so, the gallows wait They’re going to seal my fate Now it beckons to me... Live strong Die free Head high No tears Bye to the world, send me from here So, it’s the gallows for me For me...

Jonah 02:54
He waits in line They watch the tide The ship has sunk 12 feet All to do is stand is disbelief There was a curse, on board that ship It would not just sink Accusing eyes blink ͚ 'He͛s our man! It͛s Jonah, he did curse our ship!' 'But wait now, I͛m just a man!' No good his fate was sealed Curse upon the sea He takes the lives of men Jonah͛s his name! But he does not foresee The pain he inflicts on them It͛s just a name! Is it just a name? Cast Jonah to the sea! He held his hands up Shields his blame It is just a name, 'Don͛t cast me to sea!' His teary eyes They told no lies But they would not give in They punished him 'He͛s our man! It͛s Jonah, he did curse our ship!' 'But wait now, I͛m just a man!' No good his fate was sealed The ocean calls He must yield Curse upon the sea He takes the lives of men Jonah͛s his name! But he does not foresee The pain he inflicts on them It͛s just a name! Is it just a name? Cast Jonah to the sea! It's not a name! Take his life, His fame He͛s crushed under the waves He͛s gone, His fate, Far away! Curse upon the sea He takes the lives of men Jonah͛s his name! But he does not foresee The pain he inflicts on them It͛s just a name! Is it just a name? Cast Jonah to the sea!

We are guided by the Storm, And the everlasting flame, For the valiant will fall, A price the world shall pay... And you're never going to see the day, That men will stand here free... It's glory for eternity, The Storm will rise again! Calm before the storm. Hear the sirens call, Hear their song, They sing of Glory, Calm before the storm... We are strengthened by the storm, For all eternity, And the world is set to fall, No glory for the brave... For you're never going to see the day, That men will stand here free... It's glory for eternity, The Storm will rise again! Calm before the storm. Hear the sirens call, Hear their song, They sing of Glory, Calm before the storm...

The Sad King 03:13
Sat on your throne Sad and weak You were king one They knelt at your feet… Those days are done Your crown now gone See the sad king, On his throne… See the sad king on his throne Kingdom abandoned, he’s all alone He drools, he sway’s, he drools, he sweats… The sad king lost the crown upon his head In the days of old You were not weak Fearsome war-king Hero to be Those days are done Your crown now gone See the sad king, On his throne… See the sad king on his throne Kingdom abandoned, he’s all alone He drools, he sway’s, he drools, he sweats… The sad king lost the crown of men See the sad king on his throne Kingdom abandoned, he’s all alone He drools, he sway’s, he drools, he sweats… The sad king lost the crown upon his head Don’t take my soul Don’t cast it to sea It belongs with the angels They watch over me… Far, far from home It beckoned to me My crown’s but a dream A false legacy… See the sad king on his throne! See the sad king on his throne Kingdom abandoned, he’s all alone He drools, he sway’s, he drools, he sweats… The sad king lost the crown of men See the sad king on his throne Kingdom abandoned, he’s all alone He drools, he sway’s, he drools, he sweats… The sad king lost the crown upon his head

It’s been a long time Since we left for war The days have all rolled into one We said, stand and fight!͛ The hangman he beckons to me The city lights calling The noise of the mob Let’s all tell tales and sing Bright lights, be my guide! Guide me to my destiny Great waves break upon our homeland We will end this night, as brothers And fight, no others Great chains wrapped around my homeland Then we must fight, for honour Men die, up yonder It’s been a long while Since we left these shores But we must take our leave this night We said, stand and fight! The hangman he beckons to me The city lights calling The noise of the mob Take up our swords and take flight Bright lights, be my guide! Guide me to my destiny Great waves break upon our homeland We will end this night, as brothers And fight, no others Great chains wrapped around my homeland Then we must fight, for honour Tell of the glories to be The bright lights are forever blinding They will dim but forever guiding We set sail and return to our home We said, stand and fight! The hangman he beckons to me Bright lights, be my guide! Guide me to my destiny We said, stand and fight! The hangman he beckons to me Bright lights, be my guide! Guide me to my destiny
