lyrics
Riding over the oceans blue to mountains far and wide
We seek an ancient treasure and to claim a dragons hide
Ahoy there be the island lads the mighty captain cried
Make haste for the darkened path beneath the mountain side
We make our way inside
A darkened path with twisted trees awaits us at the gorge
We carve our way upon this day with swords of iron forged
But how you ask can such a task by our swords be complete
We seek the gate to claim the treasure beneath the dragons feet
We have to find the key but where is the key
Your captain holds the key
We opened the gate to the caverns below
Set forth like the knights in the legends of old
In a darkened cave with red eyes they glow
Upon the legendary bounty of gold
I fear not for the beast its ending is nigh
For I swear by my life the dragon will die
Its wings I will cast aside from its chest
To plunder the treasure fulfilling our quest
The serpent is strong we cannot prevail
Our strength is now low and we've not enough ale
Five men strong against a dragon we stand
Avast and await for your captains command
I call upon my first mate the wisest of my crew
“Ahoy captain silver what would you have me do”
Rise from your wallowing gather all who remain
The time has now come for this beast to be slain
Advance!
We hear a roar like thunder sat high upon the plunder
Fuelled by might we set our sights to cast the devil asunder
Quartermaster take the east and ready your sword “It’s ready my lord”
Gunner west and tell me if the dragons in view “my aim is true”
First mate gather your fists and fire then take the back “I will attack”
My ball and chain the dragon's bane unites us all the dragon will fall
Helmsmen hold our course true!
Hold fast and prepare to strike as the beast
Growls in anger prepare to face the serpent’s bite
Charge forth! Let it taste our wrath as our swords
Flash in the light together we charge with all our might
Fight on! The tides of fortune smile blessed are we
As we hit our mark we lay the foul beast to rest
Fulfilling the terms of our mighty quest to claim
The treasure of the dragons hide
Quested over the oceans blue to mountains far and wide
We sought an ancient treasure and to claim a mighty prize
Cast off from the island the mighty captain cried
Make haste for the second star the wind is on our side
Victorious we ride
Through darkened paths and twisted trees descending down the cliffs
We climbed below with prize in tow to board our mighty ship
But how you ask was such a task completed by we knaves
We set our course homeward bound set forth on mighty waves
Our time is now at hand victorious we stand
By the captains command

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear
