Captain Morgan’s Revenge Lyrics by Alestorm

Captain Morgans Revenge (10th Anniversary Edition)

2008

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus 3]
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
[Outro]
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
