Captain Morgan's Revenge

Countless years ago, while lost in barren seas

There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny

We took up arms and slayed the officers of rank

And with swords drawn, made the captain walk the plank

 

But as he fell down to the depths, he swore a deadly curse

"As sure as hell's my final fate, you'll all soon die or worse"

Now as we stand before the gallows waiting for the end

I'll say these final words my friend

 

At sunrise we will dance the hempen jig

So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig

The curse of Captain Morgan has lead us to this fate

So have no fear and don't look back

The afterlife awaits

 

We returned to port with sorrow in our chests

An evil shadow followed us on every quest

Never to feel joy again was our fate

Only misery and death, fear and burning hate

 

We broke the law, betrayed the code, now time is running out

An unforgivable offence, oh, of that there is no doubt

Now as we stand before the gallows waiting for the end

I'll say these final words my friend

 

At sunrise we will dance the hempen jig

So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig

The curse of Captain Morgan has lead us to this fate

So have no fear and don't look back

The afterlife awaits

 

Many years have passed now

Yet, the curse still lives on

And now we rot in a black prison cell

Waiting for our true calling in hell

 

But for the lives we leave behind, don't shed a tear, don't cry

The only way to break this curse is for us all to die

Now as we stand before the gallows waiting for the end

I'll say these final words my friend

 

At sunrise we will dance the hempen jig

So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig

The curse of Captain Morgan has lead us to this fate

So have no fear and don't look back

The afterlife awaits

At sunrise we will dance the hempen jig

So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig

The curse of Captain Morgan has lead us to this fate

So have no fear and don't look back

The afterlife awaits
