Eternal Art

The Ghost of Edward Teach

This is a story of a man
Still haunts the sea
And the ghost still lives on

1701
Queen Anne of Britain
She gave him licence to kill
As the war came along

1716
Became a pirate
Continued his life changing plan
Under Hornigold's command

1717
Acceding the Concord
Name changed to Queen Anne's Revenge
With three hundred men

Ship's approaching
Hoist The False Flag
Man the canons
Lit the fuse and fire

Dust and powder
Mist onboard
Over the gunwale
Draw your sword

Conquer the vessel
Seize their gold
Many surrendered in sight, of the flag

Dust and powder
Mist onboard
Over the gunwale Draw your sword

From the shadows
A man appeared
Fierce and wild
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
From his face, a long black beard

Three years of glory
Soon he'll meet his enemy
As a ship closes in

1718
Lieutenant Maynard
Has put the search to an end
Though grounded in sand

Teach, the first aboard
Shouting and firing at everyone
And the battle's begun

Pain in the back
5 musket ball wounds
20 sword lacerations
Yet he still could fight on

Stand and fight - hand-to-hand
Survive or die - Time will tell
Clash of swords - over again
Smoke of pistols

Gold and treasure - never found
Hiding place - No-one knows
Ghost of the sea - is unleashed
This is the tale of Edward Teach

Teach
Teach them how to fear
Fear
Fear his sword and speech
Speech
Speak the words you hear Hear
Remember the tale of Edward Teach
