Facts:
  • Title track from Alestorm's debut album (Napalm, 2008). (Stavro Arrgolus)
  • Song Lyrics:
    Countless years ago while lost in barren seas
    There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny
    We took up arms and slayed the officers of rank
    And with swords drawn made the captain walk the plank
    But as he fell down to the depths
    He swore a deadly curse
    "As sure as hell's my final fate
    You'll all soon die, or worse"
    Now as we stand before the gallows
    Waiting for the end
    I'll say these final words, my friend

    At sunrise, we will dance the hempen jig
    So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
    The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
    So have no fear and don't look back; the afterlife awaits

    We returned to port with sorrow in our chests
    An evil shadow followed us on every quest
    Never to feel joy again was our fate
    Only misery and death, fear and burning hate
    We broke the law, betrayed the code
    Now time is running out
    An unforgivable offense
    Of that there is no doubt
    Now as we stand before the gallows
    Waiting for the end
    I'll say these final words, my friend

    At sunrise, we will dance the hempen jig
    So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
    The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
    So have no fear and don't look back; the afterlife awaits

    Many years have passed now
    Yet the curse still lives on
    And now we rot in a black prison cell
    Waiting for our true calling in hell

    But for the lives we leave behind
    Don't shed a tear, don't cry
    The only way to break this curse
    Is for us all to die
    Now as we stand before the gallows
    Waiting for the end
    I'll say these final words, my friend

    At sunrise, we will dance the hempen jig
    So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
    The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
    So have no fear and don't look back; the afterlife awaits

    At sunrise we will dance the hempen jig
    So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
    The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
    So have no fear and don't look back; the afterlife awaits
