Tale of the Shadow

I set upon the sea

To search for phantom sails from tales my mum told me

A ghostly galleon filled with gold she sails alone

No crew, nor captain's guiding hand

Can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

Sun and horizon met

I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails, my course was set

My cutthroat crew conspirin' with the stars our guide

They point the way through perils fraught

And lead us to the one they call The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

Lean left! (Lean left!)

Hard right! (Hard right!)

Hold tightly to her helm

She'll try to drown you just for spite

Heave, ho! (Heave, ho!)

'Til first light! (First light!)

She'll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

A mighty tempest grew

The banshee cried, "Turn Back!" but our resolve was true

We pointed bow ahead and shouted, "We'll break through!"

The jaws of hell can't hold us back

There's nothing that can keep us from The Shadow

The winds blew stronger still

The ocean raged against us, tried to break our will

The sirens in the water, thirsty for the kill

Our vessel reelin' to and fro

To bear us to the one they call The Shadow

None can keep us from the one they call The Shadow

Lean left! (Lean left!)

Hard right! (Hard right!)

Hold tightly to her helm

She'll try to drown you just for spite

Heave, ho! (Heave, ho!)

'Til first light! (First light!)

She'll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

As thunder split the sky

The lightning drew a shape beyond the tempest's eye

A chill ran through me spine as legend came alive

"Avast!", I cried all hands as we

Prepare to take the one they call The Shadow

"All hands!"

As we approached her shell

The skies went silent, seas went calm as if by spell

No signs of fight or flight were in her, all was well

Until I tried to take her helm

Her rigging came alive

She hung my crew before me eyes

She stole my sight and cursed me Captain of The Shadow

She took my eyes and cursed me Captain of The Shadow

Lean left! (Lean left!)

Hard right! (Hard right!)

Steer clear of her I fear she'll eat your soul, she'll take your life

Heave, ho! (Heave, ho!)

'Til first light! (First light!)

She'll claim the souls of those who try to tame The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
