Princes on the water Soaring ships under her banner They come over the horizon And they darken out the day A curse of the storm (and a) Specter of the Hells The Fangs of Dragons Call the lightning and the waves (Now) try to fight Find a blade right through your heart You're on the ground Monsters rise from the waters From the skies A shrieking horror The ghosts of sea monsters Fight But never die, no Princes on the water Soaring ships under her banner They come over the horizon And they darken out the day Pray to the gods you never Wake to find a day On which ya spot 'er You and your may fight but after Thunder and the blight You'll all be dead and made an orphan Out of all the Deepests' daughters So if you find The waters darken (and the) Skies are filled with lightning Gather you and yours and Find a shelter Cull the frightning Summon all the will your fathers And your mothers did provide ye (For they are) Princes on the water Soaring ships under her banner They come over the horizon And they darken out the day A curse of the storm (and a) Specter of the Hells The Fangs of Dragons Call the lightning and the waves Princes on the water Soaring ships under her banner They come over the horizon And they darken out the day Princes on the water Soaring ships under her banner They come over the horizon And they darken out the day

A tale told around the valley now A tale told around the valley now Earth, fire, water, wind (A) Tale told around the valley now Stonemen walk the empty streets where The living run and grown men tear there Heroes walk where evil will fare This tale's told around the valley now The towns are burned the fires still roar Cloak and sword can always kill more Heroes come and water they pour This tale's told around the valley now A tale told around the valley now A tale told around the valley now Earth, fire, water, wind (A) Tale told around the valley now Birdmen fly up to the cloud's keep The riches of the valley they reap Heroes give to all that they meet This tale's told around the valley now Crashing waves their waters will find A way to ensure we are aligned Heroes go to treat them in kind This tale's told around the valley now A tale told around the valley now A tale told around the valley now Earth, fire, water, wind (A) Tale told around the valley now A tale told around the valley now A tale told around the valley now Earth, fire, water, wind (A) Tale told around the valley now

To all of you Who seek to join Our jolly crew Walk up the gangplank Drop yer pack I've got some news for you Our life is hard But it can make ye rich Free aboard the sea Not stuck here with an itch So if you feel inclined Then sign this list, grab a tool A'fore ya go I'll let you know the rules Every man a vote a share A pistol and a sword The captain and the (quarter)master One share more Ya take yer fights ashore Till one hit and then they're done No cards or dice or games for coin In battle never run No music on the Lord's day And lights out at eight bells past If yer still inclined to drink Then do it by the mast No talk of breaking up Till you've a thousand gold amassed Keep yer piece and pistol clean Yer cutlass sharp as glass If ye do all this You'll join our crew right over 'ere Climb up to the crow's nest and you'll be Be a buccaneer Climb To the crow's nest And sign On the dotted line And you'll be a buccaneer We travel round the world Let our sails be our guide Together we can storm the breach And collect ourselves a prize Our crew is to us Both a body and a mind Ever they be parted And our deaths we'll quickly find To keep him at arm's length And forever just a ghoul We formed a pact And drafted up the rules Every man a vote a share A pistol and a sword The captain and the (quarter)master One share more Ya take yer fights ashore Till one hit and then they're done No cards or dice or games for coin In battle never run No music on the Lord's day And lights out at eight bells past If yer still inclined to drink Then do it by the mast No talk of breaking up Till you've a thousand gold amassed Keep yer piece and pistol clean Yer cutlass sharp as glass If ye do all this You'll join our crew right over 'ere Climb up to the crow's nest and you'll be Be a buccaneer Climb To the crow's nest And sign On the dotted line And you'll be a buccaneer Climb To the crow's nest And sign On the dotted line And you'll be a buccaneer

They say to the north is a pirate cove Where the sea meets the mountain side And so many have tried to venture there For they seek all the gold inside Guarded by rocks and the ice laid bare No doubt it's a dead man's game For if you set out for to seek it out Think first who will carry your name The tales all tell that the grotto lies deep Down under rock and stone And the great grey ghouls of pirates past Stand over the treasure they own The souls there keep what in life they reap Though many mortal men have tried To make it on out with his life about But all save one has died There was Lucky Jack Reach he was a reckless creature Missing a heart and soul He made it there where few would dare And he took the pirate's gold A liar he would always be Told the spirits he was passing by They saw through his ruse, told him to choose Their gold or his worthless life What happened next no one can tell Save Jack and he won't ever say He made it out but all without The gold in the cavern did stay So if you go to the pirate's cove Where the sea meets the mountain side And you take that risk, then remember this Many better men than you have tried
