Lyrics

[00:58.51] Countless years ago while lost in barren seas
[01:03.40] There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny
[01:07.78] We took up arms and slayed the officers of rank
[01:12.76] And with swords drawn made the captain walk the plank
[01:17.90] And as he fell down to the depths
[01:19.24] He swore a deadly curse
[01:21.61] "As sure as hell's my final fate
[01:23.99] You'll all soon die, or worse"
[01:26.39] Now as we stand before the gallows
[01:28.94] Waiting for the end
[01:31.11] I'll say these final words my friend
[01:37.59] At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
[01:41.22] So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
[01:45.78] The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
[01:50.34] So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits
[02:05.63] We returned to port with sorrow in our chests
[02:10.24] An evil shadow followed us on every quest
[02:15.15] Never to feel joy again was our fate
[02:19.61] Only misery and death, fear and burning hate
[02:24.17] We broke the law, betrayed the code
[02:26.57] Now time is running out
[02:28.72] An unforgivable offence
[02:31.26] Of that there is no doubt
[02:33.64] Now as we stand before the gallows
[02:36.25] Waiting for the end
[02:38.39] I'll say these final words my friend
[02:44.50] At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
[02:48.25] So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
[02:53.20] The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
[02:57.57] So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits
[04:56.00] Many years have passed now
[05:00.50] Yet the curse still lives on
[05:04.61] And now we rot in a black prison cell
[05:09.46] Waiting for our true calling in hell
[05:15.17] But for the lives we leave behind
[05:17.40] Don't shed a tear, don't cry
[05:19.98] The only way to break this curse
[05:22.28] Is for us all to die
[05:24.74] Now as we stand before the gallows
[05:27.17] Waiting for the end
[05:29.39] I'll say these final words my friend
[05:47.65] At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
[05:51.28] So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
[05:55.96] The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
[06:00.50] So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits
[06:06.65] At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
[06:10.36] So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
[06:15.18] The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
[06:19.71] So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits
