Alestorm - Pirate Song Lyrics

AND FOR WHAT?

Pirate bay area around this year 2019

While most other American kids looked up to cowboys as their heroes, mine were pirates!

What happened to the pirates song!?

Sensacional

I thought all of their songs were pirate songs????????

This is the actual name of the song lol

@Game Of Fear ^

Best band.

Well then. Since no one else seems to have put it in here, I'll put in the lyrics for you, ya bastards.

Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man,
I once had the heart of a lion.
Commanding my ship between many a shore,
The ol' Jolly Roger a-flyin'.
Mine was the name that struck fear into men
And regret into plenty o' lasses.
Lo, how I wish I could take back these days,
As I stare at these empty beer glasses.

I think of the past times when I had it all
I toyed with men's wives and their daughters.
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered.

And for what?!(HEY!) The men that I've fought
Are matched by the number of women I've bought.
And for what?!(HEY!) I've killed and I've shot
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood.

And if I could go back and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
I'd kill every last one of those bastards my friend!

My ship was the last sight that many would see,
As we narrowed the gap with the quarry.
Sound of the cannons and splintering wood
Did herald our pass into glory
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
Our hearts hadn't time for the wounded.
I took my share and the crew got the rest
And into the port we then bounded.

Life has many pleasures and we had our fill
Of food and of wenches and beer
When we tired of the port or had drunken it dry,
The time to set sail would come near.

And for what?!(HEY!) We heed no law.
The other man suffers so we can have more.
And for what?!(HEY!) We lived every day
With the noose of the hangman a hairbreadth away.

And if I could go back and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
I'd kill every last one of those bastards my friend!

Oh, I have seen wonders you never have dreamed,
And taken my fair share I must say!
Holds full of booty I happily seized
From crews who would not see a new day.
Spanish gold came and went and gemstones were sold,
But I knew more lay on the horizon.
Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet
And now in my old age, it's gone.

These memories were bought with the lives of good men
A price that I paid without scruple
So many have suffered so I could get drunk
And swagger from brother to brothel

And for what?!(HEY!) It's been many years.
The screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears.
And for what?!(HEY!) I've blood on my hands.
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned.

And if I could go back and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
I'd kill every last one of those bastards my friends!

Ah, nothing like killing royalists and dying of scurvy. God, I was born in the wrong generation...

We were born in the wrong millena/century, friend

Gangplank otp's looking back at their adventures after getting permabanned

THIS MAN IS SPEAKING THE FACTS

I just love the band as well as sabaton

One piece

I thought it was a Running Wild cover =/

Henrique Figueiredo Araújo When i first saw this song i thought that also. Huge fan of both bands

I'd make all those mistakes again too, except sleeping with that witch doctor. He had an anchor shoved up his umm, let's just say it made things very awkward

Fake Faker heheh

Memememeems very dead memememwmem

Rainbow Catapult King1818....WTF are you even saying?

Anyone listening to this after they graduated high school...it was a good run

Fun fact: Singer never finished high school.

Your description while sounding vague is actually quite accurate. The song title actually is "Pirate Song" part of Alestorm's Black Sails at midnight (2009) album.

Anyone else born 300 years too late?

@Marvin the Maniac I've also searched up the meaning of my first name which means wealthy guardian

@Marvin the Maniac did you know that your first name means lives by the Sea

@Edward Neill of the clan McNeill of Barra keep educating me, there's so much more to learn from you.

@Marvin the Maniac I just use Google that's where I get my information from

@Marvin the Maniac for one thing I already feel like a pirate, not only do I have a pirate skull and crossbone tattoo, but I have lots of shiny jewelry and I'm starting a collection of different money from different countries as well.

My dick was the last sight that many wenches would see as I narrowed the gap with my quarry.

Amazing music! :)

Pirate song, from Alestorm.
