3 Inches of Blood
Album • 2004
Behold a speeding shape A ship upon the waves Racing swift as death Torment from the pits of hell In the seas where pirates dwell The armada sets its course Shadowed by skull and cross-boned force The crow's nest spots the flag The captains 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 realised Cannons blaze in wood they blast The Spanish ship is sinking fast Raiders board your ship Plunder all their gold 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 The captains duel on the bridge When all are dead and all is won There's riches here to steal Bodies scattered by the waves For sharks to make their meal in flesh Rain begins to fall Their gold 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 Nothing can quench the thirst except for rum and gold

A sacred pact signed in blood, two allies strong in war To the death they will defend if an enemy comes forth Corruption rears its ugly head, feeds a traitor's mind Stab in the back remains, to break the oath This ancient bond of trust shattered by a fool Upon betrayal, all thoughts turn to... Revenge, revenge is a vulture Take him for everything he's got Revenge, revenge is a vulture He won't know what he had until it's lost Revenge The stage is set, a battlefield, victory or death Valor will prevail against an insult to your name An alliance failed, the oath remains no more This allegiance based on trust has become war The birds of prey shall feast on carrion As their world crumbles Revenge, revenge is a vulture Deceiver’s flesh ripped off his wretched bones Revenge, revenge is a vulture His head placed on a pike for all to see A lesson learned for all of the usurpers to the throne Bridges burned, honour lost, forever damn his kind Forever damn his kind Victory will be ours, their treachery returned A shallow grave awaits Forever damn his kind A shallow grave awaits

All beware the blackened tongue Its laden heavy with lies Bleeding on the cross for the world to see Traitor, liar, thief - all will be revealed Millions caught in rapture torn inside with fear Eat the flesh and drink the blood Slave off reality for one more of the flock Your soul, it decomposes As poisoned words seep into your mind Cryptic signs of holding evil thoughts at bay While your sins, your sins are washed away As fallen angels we will fight Against a king that’s dead and gone No second coming for the general of the weak Unholy wars waged upon the land Merciless wrath upon the non-believer The blood it soaks into the soil As your idols weep in shame The council of heathens Has gathered to bring An end to their own slavery Dominion of deceit will now surely fall Controlling our thoughts no more The sheep wander blindly in the night As the shepherd passes on the plate The golden-tongued orator Spreads only wicked lies I've seen the fire burning your temple Ashes and dust return to the Earth As we summon the night And flames lick at the gates Their dominion decays and it falls The kingdom and crusaders Their spell is weakened The council of heathens Has gathered to bring An end to their own slavery Dominion of deceit will now surely fall Controlling our thoughts no more Dominion of deceit Bones in the ground Controlling our thoughts no more

Awaken by the terror of a thousand wars A vision of the coming invading force With haste he goes to the royal hall The soothsayer alerts the king, the hour is nigh The kings scoffs, says no, he does not believe You must be in error, you must be deceived My lord, they're coming, your people aren't safe Upon deaf ears fall words of fate I hold the key to what lies beyond You wont believe what this crystal orb does show And in his dreams he saw Brick by brick...behold Stone by stone...our fate Wall by wall This castle is set to burn When the soothsayers riddles is spoken, beware of the answers it holds I hold the key to what lies beyond When the soothsayer’s words make you question, the price will be paid in blood You wont believe what this crystal orb does show With no more then a reason to kill The enemy's approaching from surrounding sides Awaiting for the first strike as catapults are drawn Flaming arrows from the sky, the massacre begins Order turns to chaos, no hope to win The tyrant is here to take up your throne He’ll take off your head before taking your crown The mystic, he laughs, you should have listened to me But now you beg for your life on your knees On your knees On your knees When the soothsayer’s riddle is spoken, it could hold the outcome of war I hold the key to what lies beyond When the soothsayer’s words speak of bloodshed, just pray that the blood is not yours You wont believe The price paid in blood The price paid in blood Just pray that the blood is not yours

Lord of the storm rides in the eyes, eye of the hurricane Lord of the storm rides in the eye, in the eye of Hell Rider on the night and ruler of the damned Damnation creeps upon everyone, a sense of fatal warning Within the crew there’s treachery, a mutiny is brewing The first mate draws his cutlass forth, towards the captain challenging a duel You’ve sentenced us to a watery grave, this ship will sink into the sea A brutal storm is on the rise, wrath of an angered deity Batten down the hatches for a struggle that will take all of our lives None shall live to tell the tale of this wretched night Terror of the seven seas, Lord of the storm spreads like disease Unlike anything seen before, the Lord of the storm Behold the wrath the skies unleash Until we're dead it shall not cease The gods have made their judgment call And it spells certain death The captain’s mind cannot be swayed He’d rather die than give away All of the treasure chests below To the grip of the unforgiving deep Blinding lightning sears the flesh Raindrops fall like musketball Piercing skin, wood, steel and bone All aboard will pay The captain surfaces for air amongst the torrent nightmare Latching to a piece of the hull, destructions everywhere No more survivors from the blast, the ship drifts beneath the waves The master coasts for hours, before the storm begins to wane An albatross flies overhead, a sign that land is near An island spotted in the distance, maybe the torment is at an end Rain is gone, but doom is near, a shadow’s on his heart Immortality is his, salted tears will drench his days The captains lost upon the seas Penance for his wicked deeds Cheated by his crew and God As he floats and waits to drown He has no clue what lies ahead A deadly isle for him to dread He thinks he can rebuild his life Set sail to conquer the sea again As he touches his feet upon the sandy shore The sun will rise once more Lord of the storm rides in the eye, eye of the hurricane Lord of the storm rides in the eye, in the eye of Hell Rider on the night, ruler of the damned

Kill the Orcs Slay the Ocrs Destroy the Orcs You returned late home that night Evidence all around you from the fight You see your family's blood spilled on the ground There's no trace of the Orcs to be found Take the broadsword in your hand Follow the Orcs to their camp You will have vengeance in blood With their heads they will pay the price Spill blood On their trail we hunt them tirelessly Spill blood Bloodshed eases their loss Spill their blood Their decapitation leads to the cessation Of the sadness, of the woe Spill the blood

Out of the fog comes a huddled shape Cloaked head to toe in crimson flowing robes It hunts, kills, eats Unseen in sickening mists of night, some evils lurking in the gloom Voracious hunting appetite and piercing demon eyes A mandrake sets upon its prey, slashing mangled claws Soulstealer strangling terror, in crimson cloak it kills Mortals who cross the path The phantom hunts and kills With a swift ferocity The demons carcass strikes Death is his way, dare not to cross his path The phantom of the crimson cloak stalks the dark and silent night A killer waiting for the strike, in silence you will stand in fright Captured by its frozen stare, your body drained of essence Predator of the pure in heart, sending all their souls to hell There is no escape from here, phantom horror attack He must feed On innocent human flesh To hold the madness at bay That torments his eternal march Death is his way, dare not cross his path The phantom of the crimson cloak stalks the dark and silent night An ancient corpse He's trod this worn path Many forlorn years Aeons yet to come Death is his way, dare not cross his path The phantom of the crimson stalks the dark and silent night

Kiss the sand, praising the dry land he has found Everywhere on shore there's trasure all around Bury deep the horded loot far down below No man or god will ever take away the plunder He will find a cave to hide away the gold Doomed to a desert isle All of the riches in his hands No living thing around But he will never leave the cave Alone with bounty gold Something compels him to stay Heaven or hell, time will tell The captain thinks what will come of this If this is the end, the gold must die with me Delving underground, to his dismay The captain finds a curse The isle of eternal despair, to spend eternity alone The isle of eternal despair, with gold beyond his dreams What a sight that's sitting right before his eyes Ancient spoils of the pirates of the past Skeletons are sheathed in gold by candlelight Hunger sets buts he will guard the jewels forever Now hes punished by the gods Forever pondering his greed But hes doomed to eternal life As a golden skeleton The isle of eternal despair, doomed as his flesh begins to rot The isle of eternal despair, knowing he'll never really die As he decays into living, golden bones Eyes open watching for the rest of his life
