The Battle Of Cape Fear River lyrics - ALESTORM
In seventeen eighteenThey cornered Edward Teach
And blew his fucking head right off on Ocracoke Beach
…
Blackbeard was a pirate …
Tough as old boots …
Sailing round the seven seas, the queen's men in pursuit …
They caught him off guard
While he was drinking rum …
And engaged him with their battleships and guns
Well Blackbeard looked unshaken
He took a swig of grog …
It's gonna take much more than that to stop this salty dog …
But in his heart he knew …
That in this foreign land …
He'd go to battle one last time and make his final stand …
He looked to the sky …
The jolly roger raised up high …
Four words he did say
I'm a fucking pirate
I'm a fucking pirate king, ahoy! …
I'm a fucking pirate
Blackbeard is my name and piracy is my game
…
Many years he'd searched
For evil magic famed …
And found an ancient Voodoo Queen, bewitchment was her game …
He knew his days were numbered …
And soon his time would come
By cannonball, or flintlock, or shotgun in the bum …
With evil on his side …
He set forth once again …
Knowing that no force on earth could stop him or his men …
And when his death would come …
Unleashed would be her spell …
And he would claim his throne as the Zombie King of Hell …
A gleam in his eye …
His cutlass took those bastards' lives …
He said the words once more
I'm a fucking pirate
I'm a fucking pirate king, ahoy! …
I'm a fucking pirate
Blackbeard is my name and soon I will rise again
…
In seventeen eighteen they cornered Edward Teach …
And blew his fucking head right off on Ocracoke Beach
His body hit the floor and Blackbeard was no more …
But from the grave he rose again, a pirate ghost of war
(guitar solo)
I'm a fucking pirate
I'm a fucking pirate ghost, ahoy! …
I'm a fucking pirate
I've risen from the dead
And I'll shoot you in the head (Hey!)
I'm a fucking pirate
Ghost!
…
I'm a fucking pirate
Ghost!
…
I'm a fucking ghost!
