Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Under the moon's ghostly gleam, sails the shadow of a scream,
Captain Red, with eyes of coal, sails the seas without a soul.
His heart once given, now long gone, to a love forever done.
The night he lost her to the tide, the day his bleeding heart had died.
(Chorus)
Dark waves, black as his mournful cries,
He haunts the seas 'neath stormy skies.
Love lost, heart torn so brutally,
A pirate cursed on the endless sea.
(Verse 2)
Swords clash and cannons roar, blood spills on the ocean floor.
He fights with fury, bound by chains, of memories in endless pains.
Each plunder more, his vengeance screams, for his lost love in haunted dreams.
No mercy found in the depths of night, for the heartless man in the pale moonlight.
(Chorus)
Dark waves, black as his mournful cries,
He haunts the seas 'neath stormy skies.
Love lost, heart torn so brutally,
A pirate cursed on the endless sea.
(Bridge)
Through the mist, he sees her face,
Across the waves, her tender grace.
In every storm, her voice he hears,
Salt in his wounds, the taste of tears.
(Verse 3)
So he sails to the world's end, with no love, no heart to mend.
A specter of the man he once, before his soul was taken once.
For love he gave his beating heart, and from this world, he did depart.
A shadow in the moonlight's dance, a pirate lost to love's last chance.
(Chorus)
Dark waves, black as his mournful cries,
He haunts the seas 'neath stormy skies.
Love lost, heart torn so brutally,
A pirate cursed on the endless sea.
(Chorus)
Dark waves, black as his mournful cries,
He haunts the seas 'neath stormy skies.
Love lost, heart torn so brutally,
A pirate cursed on the endless sea.
(Outro, only piano)
Through the mist, he sees her face,
Across the waves, her tender grace.
In every storm, her voice he hears,
Salt in his wounds, the taste of tears
