Lyrics

Get underway, I'm headed for kush I'll drench your galley in blood I'll pay with my steel, capture slaves, harvest pearls And we'll take on all the world You've been softened by the marble walls You'll die with our shafts in your back My sword will sing its death song Be thou my queen, I'll sail with thee To the temple of the old ones Where the rains of 10,000 years Cannot wash the blood from the alters And the winged one waits for you Atop the remnants of his enemy Laughter echoes from the black The eldest race in the world is extinct The devils wait for you Ivory white in the faint twilight Dying men forget their fates She was the center of my universe This shedevil unhanged Were I still in death, I'll have you know I'll come back from the abyss And clear the deck of any threat Onto the island we go Now her spirit floats with the purple sails On the sea of paradise My girl is hung on the yard arm With crimson clots around her neck Now there's blood on the ground before me And no smile bends my lips The tigress burns in the crimson sea I am your king, I've set you free She belongs to the sea
