Standing against the storm in spite of blinded sages Trailblazer on the edge stubborn to reach his aim Unbroken by the pain he's fighting for survival Lone on the endless sea against adversity On the tide! With blind faith by his side Across the sea! To lands where souls are free Out of range! The ancient rules are changed To fame! To gold! It's a journey for the bold Explorer! Flame in the dark Explorer! Stars guide the way Old spyglass in his hands looks beyond the horizons A knight of solitude ready to prove his right On the tide! With blind faith by his side Across the sea! To lands where souls are free Out of range! The ancient rules are changed To fame! To gold! It's a journey for the bold Explorer! Flame in the dark Explorer! Stars guide the way On the tide! With blind faith by his side Across the sea! To lands where souls are free Out of range! The ancient rules are changed To fame! To gold! It's a journey for the bold Explorer! Flame in the dark Explorer! Explorer! Flame in the dark Explorer! Flame in the dark Explorer! Stars guide the way!
3.	Dance of Death 06:13	lyrics	buy track
The cold wind is blowing The dark night is calling The shadows of the skeletons are flitting between trees The moonlight is shining The fires are burning The circles of the revelers, are dancing on the graves. King and churl Sage and fool Poor and rich Master and slave All equal before the majesty of Death Dance of Death! Dance of Death! The only justice in the world A curse for masters, hope for slaves Dance of Death! Dance of Death! Eternal reward for the just Damnation for the evil souls! The hot blood is freezing The white bones are clacking The choir of the living dead, are singing lively song The sandglass is emptying The devil is waiting The queen is dancing with the churl, as with a nobleman King and churl Sage and fool Poor and rich Master and slave All equal before the majesty of Death Dance of Death! Dance of Death! The only justice in the world A curse for masters, hope for slaves Dance of Death! Dance of Death! Eternal reward for the just Damnation for the evil souls! The rooster is crowing The sun’s rays are blinding The shadows of the skeletons are fading In the light The dancers are fleeing The revel is over The Devil once again took souls to eternal hell King and churl Sage and fool Poor and rich Master and slave All equal before the majesty of Death Dance of Death! Dance of Death! The only justice in the world A curse for masters, hope for slaves Dance of Death! Dance of Death! Eternal reward for the just Damnation for the evil souls
4.	Hoist the Sails 04:01	lyrics	buy track
When raging ire of evil Blows hard in your face You are like a wounded eagle Outsider in the race Don’t hide the truth in your heart Take the shackles apart Strong and proud United we stand On the captain Rolf command Hoist the sails! Run for your life on the wind Facing the storm Hoist the sails! Run for your life on the wind Facing the storm When the ancient snake of darkness Tempts you with his lies You are on the edge of madness No one hears your cries Don’t hide the truth in your heart Take the shackles apart Strong and proud United we stand On the captain Rolf command Hoist the Sails! Run for your life on the wind Facing the storm Hoist the sails! Run for your life on the wind Facing the storm Don’t hide the truth in your heart Take the shackles apart Strong and proud United we stand On the captain Rolf command Hoist the sails! Run for your life on the wind Facing the storm Hoist the sails! Run for your life on the wind Facing the storm Keep the faith Before it's too late To break the chain of evil’s reign Hoist the sails! Hoist the sails! Hoist the sails! Hoist the sails! Hoist the sails!

When you are tired after a killer cruise When you're athirst for the revel and booze Wonderful land not far from the port Your instinct knows, where Bumbu flows Mysterious Sea Dog with a scar Between the pub fog in the air He’s telling legendary tale About a drunken whale Take your glass and come drink with us Take a sip of grog like an old sea dog Wild revel, debauchery and sin Till the morning at Black Chest Inn When you are looking a sweetheart on land When you are dreaming about Susie's hand Wonderful land not far from the port Full of sweet girls, hungry for your pearls Mysterious Sea Dog with a scar Between the pub fog in the air He’s telling legendary tale About a drunken whale Take your glass and come drink with us Take a sip of grog like an old sea dog Wild revel, debauchery and sin Till the morning at Black Chest Inn When you forget all the worries of your life When you'll recall about your lovely wife Wonderful ship not far from the inn He'll take you on the trail of a drunken whale Mysterious Sea Dog with a scar Between the pub fog in the air He’s telling legendary tale About a drunken whale Take your glass and come drink with us Take a sip of grog like an old sea dog Wild revel, debauchery and sin Till the morning at Black Chest Inn
7.	Storm Wind Riders 08:07	lyrics	buy track
Fluttering Black Flag, wind in the sails Sea foam is spreading over the deck A pirate ship’s cutting through stormy waves His fearless crew can snap a Leviathan’s neck Storm wind riders! Their souls are flowing free Noble freebooters, on the sea trails Oppressor hunters, knowing their lies The captain is steering, between the reefs There is no force that would bring them to their kenes Storm wind riders Their souls are flowing free We are wild and free on the raging sea We will tear out their bloody gold With a flame of pride in our pirate hearts We will rip their ‘man-of-war’ apart Prowling old rakish sea dogs Keepers of ancient truth Our spirit like an eagle Soaring high in the stormy sky Burning ships of exploiters Dark smoke and broken masts Our vessel in the glory Rides through the storm to victory Storm wind riders Their souls are flowing free We are wild and free on the raging sea We will tear out their bloody gold With a flame of pride in our pirate hearts We will rip their ‘man-of-war’ apart Storm wind riders Storm wind riders Their souls are flowing free
8.	Fancy 04:00	lyrics	buy track
Queen of the oceans Curse of the sailors Chariot of fire pushed by the wind Insidious siren Daughter of whirlwind Flag on the masthead reveals her plans Fancy! Long Ben's pride Fury on the stormy tide She's hunting for prey like a shark Fast as lightning in the dark Oh Fancy Oh Fancy Sea femme fatale Forty-six guns ready to fire Bargaining card that no one can beat Fast like a romance in an old port tavern Untamed beauty eager for gold Fancy! Long Ben's pride Fury on the stormy tide She's hunting for prey like a shark Fast as lightning in the dark Oh Fancy Oh Fancy Sea femme fatale Fancy! Long Ben's pride Fury on the stormy tide She's hunting for prey like a shark Fast as lightning in the dark Oh Fancy Oh Fancy My sweety girl Oh Fancy Oh Fancy Sea femme fatale
