Ηahaha, it's time to fly Her off laddies ! Hoist the sails ! Weigh anchor lads ! Aye ! Smythe: The Hangman left Mentoza By orders of the King With eighty scurvy sea dogs Captain Hawk and me Glynn: We' re heading to St Mary's All packed with guns and steel We' re bringing home silver and gold And treasures never seen Northern winds come strike our sails Take us where the loot awaits We fear no battle we fear no storm The sea hates cowards as you know. Aye ! Come get your sea legs! Chart the course Mr Knox Aye! Knox: Goodbye I kissed me lassie She dwindled and she cried But she gave me her locket To bring me home alive Hawk: We' re sailing in the ocean We' re going briney deep All hands on deck, ye scally wags We' re going to be rich Northern winds come strike our sails Take us where the loot awaits We fear no battle we fear no storm The sea hates cowards as you know. Aye ! Time to sail Her out laddies ! Catch the wind lads! Aye ! Glynn: Jack has done the rigging Sam belayed the ropes Knox: Up on Jacob's ladder Are the brave old-salts Smythe: We're cleaning all the muskets and sharpening the swords Hawk: Double guard the barrels of rum And don't you waste a drop ! Northern winds come strike our sails Take us where the loot awaits We fear no battle we fear no storm The sea hates cowards as you know. Aye ! Yo hohoho ! Heave ho ! Performed by Captain Silas Hawk: Yiannis Papanikolaou Quartermaster Ian Smythe: Stratis Steele First Mate Pete Glynn: Marios Karanastasis Navigator Mister Thomas Knox: Christos Kounelis Pirates: The Fantasy Choir

Glynn: Peaceful night in the endless sea Drink up the rum and fall asleep The wind so dear the moon so bright If only calm remained the night Make haste man! Batten down the hatches! Strike sails ! All hands ahoy ! Make haste ! To the ship aback ! Hold fast ! Smythe: A hundred flashes burn the sky Will we make it out alive ? Thunders clap , heavy rain falls A ghost has come to take our souls Knox: There she is naked on a board Through the waves staring and smiling Captain: Oh my Lord I have never seen an angel before Are my eyes lying ? Into the storm what can frighten the bold? Bad luck will haunt us with a woman on board Into the storm seamen get to prove their worth This is a test for our faith in the Lord Heave ho! Loosen the hallyard ! Take in sail ! Hands to brace ! Captain: Throw the lines, haul her aboard Give her water , food and clothes Reet the sails, secure the ropes Hold on fast , the sea wants war Knox: Hurry lads, grab the winches on the mast Clear the deck, about we're booming Smythe: The course is set There are riches for the brave ones out there Ahead we ' re moving Into the storm what can frighten the bold? Bad luck will haunt us with a woman on board Into the storm seamen get to prove their worth This is a test for our faith in the Lord Heave ho ! Make haste ye Lads ! Avast ye ! Captain: Where do you come from ? Where is your boat ? Glynn: How did you get here in the storm? Knox: Did you see ships ? Did you see land ? Smythe: Or fearsome creatures of the dark ? Into the storm what can frighten the bold? Bad luck will haunt us with a woman on board Into the storm seamen get to prove their worth This is a test for our faith in the Lord Performed by Captain Silas Hawk: Yiannis Papanikolaou Quartermaster Ian Smythe: Stratis Steele First Mate Pete Glynn: Marios Karanastasis Navigator Mister Thomas Knox: Christos Kounelis Pirates: The Fantasy Choir

Pirates: The captain took her by the hand in his quarters for the night We tried to peek through the keyhole but we couldn't see a light Captain: Who are you ? Did you fall from the sky ? Did you rise from the ocean floor ? Nerissa: No need to ask me questions You won't get an answer for Captain: What are you looking for ? What do you want ? I have no time to lose Nerissa: I will be fair and i'll make you a deal One you cannot refuse No, you will never get my heart The sea is my only master the gusty winds my only friends Are what I'm running after And when i sleep beneath the stars A thousand storms will take me Like every creature of the water She'll embrace me Nerissa: I'll lay with you when the moon is red For three nights in a row And lead you all to treasures You have never dreamed before Captain: But if you try to trick me I will throw you overboard I want the proof that you're telling the truth Or else you 'll feel my sword No, you will never get my heart The sea is my only master the gusty winds my only friends Are what I'm running after And when i sleep beneath the stars A thousand storms will take me Like every creature of the water She'll embrace me Smythe: What are they doing ? I can't hear a sound Knox: I think she took his life Glynn: Maybe she used some witchcraft to enslave him with her smile No, you will never get my heart The sea is my only master the gusty winds my only friends Are what I'm running after And when i sleep beneath the stars A thousand storms will take me Like every creature of the water She'll embrace me Performed by Captain Silas Hawk :Yiannis Papanikolaou Sea Witch Nerissa: Fany Melfi Quartermaster Ian Smythe: Stratis Steele First Mate Pete Glynn: Marios Karanastasis Navigator Mister Thomas Knox:Christos Kounelis Pirates: The Fantasy Choir

The Crone 04:18
Knox; The fog was thick it swallowed us The sea was deathly quiet That woman's curse was haunting us But we were drowned in silence Glynn: Three nights had passed they were locked in his quarters We kept on our course sailing out there blind We all had the fear something horrid was coming But hoped the good lord was still on our side Smythe: On the fourth morning they finally opened And came on the deck with sparks in their eyes Quiet as graves they walked out among us Thank god our captain is still alive Where 's our gold ? The treasures we 're told ? The riches we promised To bring back home ? Where 's our gold ? How far will we go ? We 're waiting for orders To take our post Knox; As they were sleeping we hid in a corner And saw her come out all alone on the prow She climbed on the ledge and the moonlight revealed her An ugly and frightful wrinkled old crone Smythe: She saw me and laughed my blood started freezing She took off her clothes and walked on the plank She pointed at me as she jumped and she told me Sea Witch Nerissa: Go thank your Captain! He gave me a son! Where 's our gold ? The treasures we 're told ? The riches we promised To bring back home ? Where 's our gold ? How far will we go ? We 're waiting for orders To take our post Glynn: The captain stood behind the helm We told him what had happened He frowned and said Captain: Don't worry lads. I ,too, got what I was after. Where 's our gold ? The treasures we 're told ? The riches we promised To bring back home ? Where 's our gold ? How far will we go ? We 're waiting for orders To take our post
5.
Captain Hawk betrayed us By the Code he has doomed us all None of us will follow His orders anymore Glynn: So, while he's sleeping up above We go over his bed side Swords against his throat We make him walk the plank tonight Knox: What of the Crone ? The deal he made has cursed us Keep him aboard Or his fate will fall upon us Get the pistol, the musket,the cutlass the sword Cause tonight we are taking the ship for our own Don't need no master, no king and no mate We fight for ourselves and The battle is today Take him ! Glynn: Now, are you ready, let's move on We meet under the staircase Knox: Make him take the fall Claim the debt he has to pay Smythe: What of the king? Empty-handed we will get home We won't explain We'll hang just as we reach the port Get the pistol, the musket,the cutlass the sword Cause tonight we are taking the ship for our own Don't need no master, no king and no mate We fight for ourselves and The battle is today Come on boys ! She is ours now ! Get the pistol, the musket,the cutlass the sword Cause tonight we are taking the ship for our own Don't need no master, no king and no mate We fight for ourselves and The battle is today Get him! What's going on ? Grab him ! Ye rats ! Throw him down below ! Back to your posts ! Cleave him to the brisket ! To the bilge ! Take him ! No mercy ! Get Back ! To the bilge ! Grab him ! Take him to the bilge! Haul him below ! Swabs ! Make way lads ! The ship is ours ! Performed by Quartermaster Ian Smythe: Stratis Steele First Mate Pete Glynn: Marios Karanastasis Navigator Mister Thomas Knox:Christos Kounelis Captain Silas Hawk: Yiannis Papanikolaou Pirates: The Fantasy Choir

Smythe: Sailing the waters Lost in the darkness Black clouds have covered The sun up above Knox: A course can't be charted The stars will not guide us The captain remains Locked up down below Circled by winds Yet our sails are remaining still Stranded in haze with the ghosts of the sea Cursed to the bone In a trap there's nowhere to go Watery graves await us all Who can take control tonight ? Who can lead us to the shore ? O good Lord give us a sign All our hope is gone Glynn: We 've run out of reason Going in irons Maybe it's time we broke our accord Smythe: Hawk won't forgive us But he'll show us mercy He'll lead us again He 'll honour the Code Circled by winds Yet our sails are remaining still Stranded in haze with the ghosts of the sea Cursed to the bone In a trap there's nowhere to go Watery graves await us all Smythe:The compass can't point to the North Glynn: The spyglass can't see land Knox: The helm is turning us around Oh God what have we done ? Who can take control tonight ? Who can lead us to the shore ? O good Lord give us a sign All our hope is gone Performed by Siren Thelxie: Iliana Tsakiraki Quartermaster Ian Smythe: Stratis Steele First Mate Pete Glynn: Marios Karanastasis Navigator Mister Thomas Knox:Christos Kounelis Pirates: The Fantasy Choir

Father 04:09
Shiver me timbers ! Knox: In the fog we sailed afar The devil following our path Burning eyes broke out of hell He was rising through the water Glynn: Black as tar his mighty wings All our steel won't pierce his skin A fight so lost, we all stood still He approached and then he called out Demon Vythos: Father, I will find you wherever you go You cannot leave me Father, in the blood that runs through my veins You're always with me Lord save us ! Glynn: We brought the captain at the helm He raised his cutlass and he yelled Captain: Leave my men, take me instead ⁃ I am here , your fight is with me ⁃ Smythe: He flapped his wings around the ship With one blow we 'd sink in the abyss Yet he turned and let us leave His voice still echoed in the wind Demon Vythos: Father, I will find you wherever you go You cannot leave me Father, in the blood that runs through my veins You're always with me Father till we 'll meet again Wait for me Captain : Mister Knox Get us out of here ! Aye ! Back to your posts me lads Turn the winch and keep your guns Master Smythe will give the call Who's with me now and who's not ? Demon Vythos: Father, I will find you wherever you go You cannot leave me Father, in the blood that runs through my veins You're always with me Father till we 'll meet again Wait for me

Haha come sea legs ! Make ready boys ! Glynn: The spyglass searching the horizon There is land ahead Seagulls flying through the sails back from the shore Knox: Among the rocks The Black Jack's rising to the clouds The anchor dropped At last our feet have touched the ground We 've touched the ground Captain: Follow me lads I know the way We're going down that darkened cave Light up a torch, don't fall astray Burn down the map, here is your pay The piles of silver, piles of gold We 're going blind with all this glow Coffers all full of precious things We are so rich we 'll live as kings Here we are! Make haste lads ! No prey no pay me hearties ! Smythe: Diamonds emeralds and rubies Filling up our chests Endless crates all full of jewels and Spanish coins Glynn: The Crone was right A treasure men could never find This is no lie First time we saw the Captain smile The Captain smiled Captain: Follow me lads carry the weight Back to the ship ! Move out ! Make haste ! Fill up your pockets, feast your eyes And don't leave anything behind The piles of silver, piles of gold We 're going blind with all this glow Coffers all full of precious things We are so rich we 'll live as kings Yo ho ho! Heave ho ! Haha well done boys !

Sirens: Sisters hurry gather round Sails I see ahead I hear singing on the deck now Let's see who's out there. Ahoy ye lads, be not afraid We mean you no harm We only want your songs to learn They speak to our heart Is your home on distant lands ? Have you travelled far ? Fair the winds were on your way ? O how brave you are Pirates: Stay away demons Bite the bullet lads Hold on fast, here they come Shoot them down O shoot them down Sirens: Strike, fast, grab them all Take them back home Sirens: Let us kiss you handsome tars Let us be your wives If you give us all your souls We will spare your lives Pirates: Stay away demons Bite the bullet lads Hold on fast, here they come Shoot them down O shoot them down Sirens: Strike, fast, grab them all Take them back home Captain Hawk: We stole their treasure !!!!

Coming Home 05:22
Smythe: Raising the flag of glory In fair winds and following seas We 're heading home with treasures And some mermaid's teeth Captain: The king will come to the harbour To welcome us all in glee The royal court will praise us And crowds will come to see Come on ye scully wags ! We 're coming home with a hold full of riches We 'll spend it all on taverns and whores The queen will send invitations to dinner And our names will be first on the top Glynn: Our tales will live forever Songs will be written for us We 'll talk about our adventures To folks who buy us rum Knox: The lassies will come up easy We 're legends in this land We 'll give them rings and bracelets From the ones we hid out back Oh the booty !!! We 're coming home with a hold full of riches We 'll spend it all on taverns and whores The queen will send invitations to dinner And our names will be first on the top Hoist the sails ! We' re coming home ! We 're coming home with a hold full of riches We 'll spend it all on taverns and whores The queen will send invitations to dinner And our names will be first on the top Demon Vythos: Father....
