Fear On The Bridge (Upon The Boiling Sea I) — 3 Inches Of Blood

Behold a speeding shape A ship upon the waves Racing swift as death

Torment from the pits of Hell In seas where pirates dwell The armada sets its course Shadowed by skull and cross-boned force The crow's nest spots the flag The captain's plans have hit a snag With your lives, defend the gold In a fire fight yet to unfold Opposing ships steered side by side Fear on the bridge is realized Cannons blaze in wood they blast The Spanish ship is sinking fast

Raiders board the ship Plunder all their fold As they're lunging for the kill Their riches will be ours Take no prisoners Leave no man alive For the ransacking awaits The decks awash with blood

Fight to the death There is no other way Honour will say Kill That captains duel on the plank

When all are dead and all is won There's riches here to steal Bodies scattered by the waves For sharks do make their meal in flesh Flesh Rain begins to fall Their fold becomes our wealth As they sink into the sea No mercy for the rich We wash their blood From our bounty gold We feast tonight

We're heading due west For the secret island port The plunder divides But give a piece to the sea

When madness of the fever grips and greed is taking hold Nothing can ever cure your thirst except for rum and gold Nothing can quench the thirst except for rum and gold
