[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Cold winds whine through cobweb grey Sargauth crawls the black decay Old rhyme breathed from stone and brine Left by pirates drowned in time "Follow tide if Skullport calls Drift where dark water falls" But gold bit deep in every brave So they marched for the Captain's Grave [Verse 2] Beroth traced the weathered rune Warning breathed the damp monsoon Grog laughed loud and hefted steel Wizkim melted where shadows kneel Zelprime watched the river bend Ranger eyes that know no end Arius raised his hammer high Swore this dark would fall and die [Chorus] Down they strode the pirate road Where the dead still guard their hold Through the dark that does not sleep To the grave the captain keeps Steel and nerve and hunger brave Walk where hell has dug its cave All men hunger all men crave What lies in the Captain's Grave [Verse 3] Pack half rotted on the shore Left by one who walked no more Crowbar rusted rope half frayed Rations rotten fears decayed Tunnel closed the shadows grew Air turned thick and ghostly blue Far beyond the lantern light Two fiends coiled to spring and bite [Verse 4] Darkness split without a sound Barlguras boiled up from ground Burning eyes like coals ablaze Fists that could split mountain stone Roars that shook the bone and brain Grave became a killing plain Blood and ash and smoke and flame [Verse 5] Grog met fury face to face Traded blow for blow no grace Zelprime loosed the arrow rain Every shot found home again Wizkim vanished from all sight Ghost that walks the edge of fight Daggers bit where none expected Demons fell where none protected [Verse 6] Beroth called the arcane storm Lightning took unholy form Arius raised the holy light Drove the fiends before his might Cavern walls shook cracked and groaned Death rang through the halls unknown Till at last the demons fell Crawling back to hell [Chorus] Down they strode the pirate road Where the dead still guard their hold Through the dark that does not sleep To the grave the captain keeps Steel and nerve and hunger brave Walk where hell has dug its cave All men hunger all men crave What lies in the Captain's Grave [Interlude] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 7] Pirate sat against the wall Mold and bone beneath his shawl Rusted sword in dead clenched hand Last clue written in the sand Wizkim traced the hidden slot Blade slid home where long it ought Ancient lock gave one last groan Treasure fell from ceiling stone [Verse 8] Silver spilled across the floor Gold that had not seen the shore Pearls and dice and sailor rings All the price the darkness brings They gathered fast they did not stay No man lingers where the dead lay Back along the river brave Victors of the Captain's Grave [Final Chorus] Raise the cup and sing the name Of the six who walked the flame Grog's strong arm Beroth's fire Wizkim's shadow Zelprime's wire Arius stood unbroken brave All walked out where most went grave So drink deep and tell it well The tale that dead men never tell [Outro] (Instrumental Solo)
