lyrics

Dark stormy sky, as they came down from the stars
Broadside they fly, their ship in the night

The Captain, his orders: invade and cross their borders
A child, an orphan, was left to die but there he stood
with the fire of life in his eyes in a world too cruel

With courage in our hearts
Around the sun and stars, a fortune will be ours
Across a sea of space
To light years far away, into the great beyond
(What troubles you cap'n
Aye, you be pale as a ghost)
Oh, the universe is dark and cold and cruel
To ancient planets of old
To claim a treasure untold
He said Trust in me, for eternity
And your destiny, will be laid out in gold
Without a captain's command
He died with a sword in his hand
Will we place our lives in the hands of this boy
(The captain is dead, who's gonna lead
What will we do, what of the boy)

The Captain, his orders: invade and cross their borders
A child, an orphan, was left to die but there he stood
with the fire of life in his eyes in a world too cruel

With courage in our hearts
Around the sun and stars, a fortune will be ours
Across a sea of space
To light years far away, into the great beyond

Ooh ee ooh, we’re the terror of the stars
Yo ho ho, never will we see our home
Never will we, we’re the terror of the
Never will we, we’re the terror of the stars

The Captain, his orders: invade and cross their borders
A child, an orphan, was left to die but there he stood
with the fire of life in his eyes in a world too cruel

He found his way back home
He gave his heart and soul
He overcame his fate

With courage in our hearts
Around the sun and stars, a fortune will be ours
Across a sea of space
To light years far away, into the great beyond

A pirate's life is full adventure
Singing and dancing and having loads of fun
Playing with swords and finding buried treasure
Walking the plank and drinking bottles of rum

It reminds me of *good* Blind Guardian, which is one of my favorite bands (up to 2002) , so that alone would be enough. However, it would sell the band short to describe them just as "a band that sounds like BG". The album has some genuinely brilliant moments and the last song on the album, the s/t one, is one of my favorite songs of the past years, absolutely fantastic. dungeonvic

Been looking to expand my power metal collection a bit beyond the classics of HammerFall, Blind Guardian, et. al. Not disappointed by these guys in the least. A sound very much inspired by German and Swedish power metal greats imo. caffeinatedmetalhead
