Kilmaine Saints - Ten Fathoms Deep

Текст с Bandcamp’a: “Verse 1 In 1724 I was pressed into the service On a ten gun sloop called Ranger I toasted Bloody Jack At the age of seventeen, my first man I did murder One swift pull of the trigger, I’d shot him in the back Chorus We set a course for murder as we hoisted up our sails And in our wake we left a bloody swell No quarter and no mercy as we fired off our guns Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell Verse 2 We took a British trader bound for the Bahamas We raised our bloody standard as we fired across his bow The captain hove-to quickly and he gave up all his secrets We relieved him of his cargo and his vengeance he avowed Chorus Bridge The cannon fires through our bow I pray that Davy don’t take me now I hold my last breath anyhow to meet my watery grave The ocean seems to hold its breath as fifty men prepare for death Clinging to the rigging is no place for the brave Verse 3 The ship explodes around us in a hail of blood and timber We resigned our souls to Neptune as we floated there for days Rescued by a merchant bound for the Tortolas We thanked the crew sincerely at the point of our blades Chorus Saints & sinners will know us well by the trail of dead left in our swell No quarter or no mercy it’s ten fathoms deep to hell Words and Music © 2010 M.
