Ghost Ship


Recommended Posts

Well, all... looking at figuring out a verse to in this song.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ghost Ship

1 more year boys and a day,

we'll set sail for far away;

'til then we toil, & work & sweat,

'til we pay off our cursed debt.

We've been through the seven seas,

we keep sailing with no breeze;

___?___ no anchor, touch no land,

with death's head grins & skeleton hands.

At the edge we heard a cry,

sailed on passed & still we fly;

We work the sails without wind,

for seven helms, for we have sinned.

We've forgotten all the laws,

lost in time the curses' caused;

A ship of inmates, a ship of death,

the sails are filled by the Devil's breath.

One more year, boys, and a day,

we'll set sail for far away;

Til then we toil & work & sweat,

'til we pay off our cursed debt.

The sun & wind & moon & stars,

the white sea mist are never ours;

Still we chase them, shiver & shake,

pray you don't cross our burning wake.

One more year, boys, and a day,

we'll set sail for far away;

Til then we toil & work & sweat,

'til we pay off our cursed debt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyone able to help with this?

It's just that one verse above that I can't seem to decipher.

Thank ye kindly for your assistance, mates.

:(

Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

"I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

How 'bout:

"No refuge"

or:

"No harbor"

Sounds like it needs to 'ave to syllables?

Hard to tell without the music.

Nice lyric, especially like the "sails are filled by the Devil's breath" part.

Very poetic.

The lyrics are interesting.

Though, that's the best I could gather from what I heard from the singing. Though, that one line baffles me.

I know I kinda misunderstood a couple words... such as Helms.. should be Hells.

Just haven't had luck with finding out the lyrics to this Song.

:lol:

Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Well.. I was able to figure out the lyrics since I posted this.

I have yet to memorize it.. for it's a PERFECT pirate song - if you play the cursed pirate - for this month. :lol:

The "helms" I wrote there is a typo.. it's actually "Hells" ... & the 2nd line in the 2nd verse I believe it's "We set.."

I adore this song. There are other songs that I have sung by Wylde Nept on their CD. Good sea shanties.

:lol:

Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

"I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."
