[Intro] Captain, there be vikings off the starboard bow! Attack! 'Twas off some Caribbean shore, While on an epic quest. We came across a strange device! A mystic portal into another time. Where vikings ruled the land and sea! Such mighty treasure they did hold. We killed them all to steal their gold! [Chorus:] You put your faith in Odin and Thor! We put ours in cannons and whores! Your viking gods won't save you now, When the pirates strike from the starboard bow! Back through time, to fight the viking foe! Back through time, where our voyage must now go! Six hundred years into the the past, Our destiny is here at last! For infamy and plunder we will ride! Their ships were powerless against our cannon fire. We took no prisoners that day! (Yahaharr) The Vikings prayed for mercy, As we cut their throats! But their worthless gods did not hear their cries! [Chorus] [Solo] Such mighty treasure they did hold. We killed them all to steal their gold! [Chorus]

It's 3 years to the very day, since a pirate captain said to me, hey lad come join our crew, adventure and glory waits for you! I took his words as gold, and set sail for quests untold with a bottle of rum, in my hand I dreamed of wealth and foreign lands! Hey! you're banjaxed! Hey! you're screwed! and death is coming for you! trapped on an island lost at sea! shipwrecked you'll cease to be! Hey! you're banjaxed! Hey! you're screwed! and death is coming for you! trapped on an island lost at sea! shipwrecked your destiny! On the 16th night at sea, in the depths of toil and misery, we struck a hidden reef, and our ship began to sink beneath, I grabbed some drifting wood, and held on as long as I could, 'til I landed on a desert isle, now I'm stuck here 'til the day I die! Hey! you're banjaxed! Hey! you're screwed! and death is coming for you! trapped on an island lost at sea! shipwrecked you'll cease to be! Hey! you're banjaxed! Hey! you're screwed! and death is coming for you! trapped on an island lost at sea! shipwrecked your destiny! Shipwrecked! Shipwrecked! Get drunk or die! Shipwrecked! Shipwrecked! Get Drunk or die! Hey! you're banjaxed! Hey! you're screwed! and death is coming for you! trapped on an island lost at sea! shipwrecked you'll cease to be! Hey! you're banjaxed! Hey! you're screwed! and death is coming for you! trapped on an island lost at sea! shipwrecked your destiny!

There lies a tavern down Wisconsin Way Where you can get drunk any time of the day The landlord's a bastard, the barmaid's a whore But give them no shit or you're straight out the door The Sunk'n Norwegian's the name of this hole A nasty ol' tavern if ever I've known [Chorus:] One more drink at the Sunk'n Norwegian One more drink before we have to die One more drink at the Sunk'n Norwegian Raise up your tankards of ale to the sky One more drink, at the Sunk'n Norwegian One more drink, before we have to die One more drink, at the Sunk'n Norwegian Raise up your tankards of ale to the sky Scoundrels and brigands and ne'er-do-wells And creatures dragged up from the black pits of hell You'll find the relief in a tankard of ale So the Sunk'n Norwegian is where we will sail For barrels of whiskey or pints from the bar But if you don't know Then you don't go Drink up my friends, as much as you can For tomorrow we sail to a faraway land We'll party all night and get drunk off our heads 'Cause we can all rest when we are dead [Chorus x2]

Who's that short man what does he do? He killed that monkey with his shoe! Why that monkey? Why his boot? 'Cause he had a belly full of loot! The monkey needs his damn revenge! That poor creature we'll avenge! Midget Saw, a deadly fate Chopped up limbs become shark bait Midget Saw, the pirate's code It says that both your legs must go Chopped to pieces Ripped to shreds You're gonna wish that you were dead! Grab him by his manky hair And strap him to that table there This pirate's not gonna walk again He's in for a world of nasty pain! Slap that midget with an oar Remove his legs with a saw! Midget Saw, a deadly fate Chopped up limbs become shark bait Midget Saw, the pirate's code It says that both your legs must go Chopped to pieces Ripped to shreds You're gonna wish that you were dead! Midget Saw, a deadly fate Chopped up limbs become shark bait Midget Saw, the pirate's code It says that both your legs must go Chopped to pieces Ripped to shreds You're gonna wish that you were dead!

From Scotland's bonnie shores we set sail In search of alcohol, the drunkard's holy grail 'Cause a pirate's life is empty without booze The situation's dire, we've got nothing to lose To England we ride With vengeance on our minds We'll kill the monks, and get dead drunk Come on lads it's cloister burning time Buckfast Powersmash! Buckfast Powersmash! Buckfast Powersmash! Buckfast Powersmash! I'm not sure what's in it except for caffeine Despite having drunk it since I was thirteen It sells by the barrel in China and Spain I'll get drunk once more on that Lurgan Champagne Buckfast Powersmash! Buckfast Powersmash! Buckfast Powersmash! Buckfast Powersmash!

For many a-year we have travelled the seas, Singing songs about pirates and all their misdeeds! Stories of treasure and great undead foes, Just a day in the life of a man that I know. Your legendary prowess in drinking much beer Recorded in song for all people to hear. But many have asked where we're next gonna sail The answer lies deep in a barrel of ale! [Chorus 2x] There are no more tales to be told! No more stories from battles of old! Now it seems our journey has come to an end! We are scraping the barrel my friend! You may think you've heard all this music before, That Running Wild did it back in '84 But times are a-changing and we don't give a damn! So if you don't like it, go start your own band! Many have told us that we can't go on! That one day we'll run out of lyrics for songs! But when the time comes to write album four, We'll scrape at the barrel once more! [Chorus] There are no more tales to be told! No more stories from battles of old! Now it seems our journey has come to an end! We are scraping the barrel my friend! [Solo] [Chorus 3x] There are no more tales to be told! No more stories from battles of old! Now it seems our journey has come to an end! We are scraping the barrel my friend!

The time has come The time for a drink But I don't want whiskey or gin There's only one drink That gets me so drunk Until my head starts to spin Far to the west Under tropical sun This mystical drink is brewed On our mission to get totally drunk We have got nothing to lose Rum is the power Rum is the key Rum is the thing that will set us free! Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum ahoy Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum gimme more rum Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum ahoy Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum ya ha ha ha The time has come The time for a drink But I don't want vodka or mead None of these drinks will quench my thirst Rum is the drink that I need Questing the oceans and questing the seas Searching for ultimate booze On our mission to get totally drunk We have got nothing to lose Rum is the power Rum is the key Rum is the thing that will set us free! Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum ahoy Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum gimme more rum Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum ahoy Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum [Solo] Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum ahoy Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum gimme more rum Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum ahoy Rum rum rum yarr Rum rum Hey

Gather round and listen As I tell you now this tale The grim legacy of the pirates three And how their lives ceased to be I'll tell you know of Redrum The ginger commodore He got a case of the scurvy rot And then that bastard was no more This is the tale of Captain Crashride By his crew, condemned and damned And as if this wasn't bad enough They replaced him with a baldy man Now his ghost haunts the sea Eternally he's doomed to wander Mayhaps you'll hear his deathly cry C'mon son, buy a Honda! To the end of time we will sail the seas With cutlasses in hand We'll terrorize the land Though the hands of fate may strike us down We'll fight 'til we fall Swashbucklers 'til we die This is the tale of Admiral Nobeard The fattest pirate in the west He's never seen his balls before And he needs a bra to hold his breasts Feared by friend and foe alike No sword nor gun could wound his flesh But one day he met his fate 'Twas on a pretzel he choked to death To the end of time we will sail the seas With cutlasses in hand We'll terrorize the land Though the hands of fate may strike us down We'll fight 'til we fall Swashbucklers 'til we die We'll fight 'til we fall Swashbucklers 'til we die

Oh, the year was 1778 How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now! A letter of marque came from the king To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now! For twenty brave men all fishermen who Would make for him the Antelope's crew God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now! She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags And the cook in scuppers with the staggers and the jags God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers On the King's birthday we put to sea How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now! We were 91 days to Montego Bay Pumping like madmen all the way God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers On the 96th day we sailed again How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now! When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight With our cracked four pounders we made to fight God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers The Yankee lay low down with gold How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now! She was broad and fat and loose in the stays But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers Ladies and gentlemen, mister Heri Joensen Then at length we stood two cables away How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now! Our cracked four pounders made an awful din But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers The Antelope shook and pitched on her side How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now! Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs And the Maintruck carried off both me legs God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers So here I lay in my 23rd year How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now! It's been 6 years since we sailed away And I just made Halifax yesterday God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers

From the deep there's a terror rising A great beast with eyes like crimson fire Leviathan returns to devour the world Set a course, the time for slaughter To the heart of the raging oceans blue This time the beast will meet its doom Eternal doom Legends spoke of the ancient monster From a time beyond the dawn of time In a pit of primordial ooze Many years we have been kept waiting But tonight that squid will surely die Revenge is a dish best served fried Deep fried Deathsworn, Oathbound On a quest for vengeful slaughter We sail to the halls of doom With the black flag raised in the sky Deathsworn, Oathbound No gods shall be our master We sail to the halls of doom With the black flag raised in the sky With a crash of thunder Our ship sails 'cross the waves On a course to the frozen arctic seas We've defeated vikings And ninjas we hath slain The terrorsquid won't escape again Never again Deathsworn, Oathbound On a quest for vengeful slaughter We sail to the halls of doom With the black flag raised in the sky Deathsworn, Oathbound No gods shall be our master We sail to the halls of doom With the black flag raised in the sky Poseidon's realm falls silent... THE BEAST AWAKENS! Between the bounds of light and death Rides the serpent, Uroboros Supine before the altar of doom Enter into the Cthonic lair A raging torrent of smoke and fire Lightning from across the bow Hear the death throes of the terrorsquid The doom of leviathan draws near Thunderous volleys from the thirty-two pounder gun strike the beast, as our vessel moves in for the killing blow. From the bow of the ship the great harpoon is fired, impaling through the monster's cursed eyes. With a final scream of terror, Leviathan rears up in defeat, and is vanquished for all eternity.
