Tale of the Shadow

I set upon the sea To search for phantom sails from tales my mum told me A ghostly galleon filled with gold, she sails alone No crew, nor captain's guiding hand Can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow Sun and horizon met I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails, my course was set My cutthroat crew conspiring with the stars our guide They point the way through perils fraught And lead us to the one they call The Shadow None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow Lean left! (Lean left!) Hard right! (Hard right!) Hold tightly to her helm She'll try to drown you just for spite Heave, ho! (Heave, ho!) 'Til first light! (First light!) She'll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow A mighty tempest grew The banshee cried, "Turn back", but our resolve was true We pointed bow ahead and shouted, we'll break through! The jaws of hell can't hold us back There's nothing that can keep us from The Shadow The winds blew stronger still The ocean raged against us, tried to break our will The sirens in the water, thirsty for the kill Our vessel reelin' to and fro To bear us to the one they call The Shadow None can keep us from the one they call The Shadow Lean left! (Lean left!) Hard right! (Hard right!) Hold tightly to her helm She'll try to drown you just for spite Heave, ho! (Heave, ho!) 'Til first light! (First light!) She'll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow As thunder split the sky The lightning drew a shape beyond the tempest's eye A chill ran through me spine as legend came alive "Avast!", I cried all hands as we Prepare to take the one they call The Shadow "All hands!" As we approached her shell The skies went silent, seas went calm as if by spell No signs of fight or flight were in her, all was well Until I tried to take her helm Her rigging came alive She hung my crew before me eyes She stole my sight and cursed me, Captain of The Shadow She took my eyes and cursed me, Captain of The Shadow Lean left! (Lean left!) Hard right! (Hard right!) Steer clear of her, I fear she'll eat your soul, she'll take your life Heave, ho! (Heave, ho!) 'Til first light! (First light!) She'll claim the souls of those who try to tame The Shadow None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
