Lyrics (Salty Dog):
I'll wait for you till I turn blue
There's nothin' more a man can do
Don't get your bollocks in a twist
Settle down, don't take a fit
Ya drank with demons straight form Hell
They almost nearly won as well
Ya wiped the floor with victory
Then puked until you fell asleep
Blackened was the banshee's wail
These boot will never fill her jail
So you crawled into an empty boat
For the Gulf of Mexico
Till Cortez came an' when so did you
From the ashes charred and blue
Smellin' like a Salty Dog
Back from Hell where you belong
Anarchy, the scourge of every sea
The Antichrist aboard a rig
With us your cutthroat thieves
The ship went down we all near drowned
Ya stood there on the deck
Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse
And dragged you from the wreck
They threw a rope around yer neck
To watch you dance the jig of death
Then left ya for the starvin' crows
Hoverin' like hungry whores
One flew down plucked out yer eye
The other he had in his sights
Ya snarled at him, said leave me be
I need the bugger so I can see
Lyrics (The Lightning Storm):
This lonely existence paves the way
For the hard of hearts must beat, be brave
While this quiet lightning storm
Wrecks the harvest gold we try to sow
So it begins, the way the light still dances beneath the skin
There's the messenger from hell since we're bound to win
As the days they come but the years they go
So take care of your freedom, they'll never know
I sit on the wing for a blackbird song
To tell me where and when this all went wrong
There's no resolution without remorse
With ignorance, the least he found let state a course
Puncture the skin and see his blood run cold on desert sand
Come hear the meant for mothers with childless hands
As the days they come but the years they go
So take care of your freedom, they'll never know
Take good care of your freedom, they'll never know
Take what you give until there's nothing left but forever live
And night this is on shadows when after kill
As the days they come but the years they go
So take care of your freedom, they'll never know
Yeah, take good care of your freedom, they'll never know
As the days they come but the years they go
So take care of you freedom, they'll never know
