Alestorm - Chronicles of Vengeance lyrics

A thunderous crash in the dead of the night
We ready our weapons, prepare for the fight
My band of comrades, so cruelly betrayed
Now face the cold edge of justice's blade
For they knew where to hit us
They knew where to look
Our fortress was breached
And it's mighty walls shook
Accused of this treason, I fled to the sea
To track down the true
Source of this treachery

Sold out, betrayed attacked, besieged
Outcast, accused honour, refused
Ride the Black Spot in my hand
On a quest for the truth i scour the land
This traitorous cur shall die by my hand
If I'm to be spared i must have his head
I will not rest 'til the traitor is dead

I called in all favours
I bartered and bribed
I must find this turncoat, and find him alive
And so I was taken to a little old inn
And deep in his cups, my man sat within
We bitterly battled, but I won the fight
And tied him beneath the high
Tide mark that night
And when I'd made sure he
Could no longer stand
I left him there with that
Black Spot in his hand

Avenged, absolved justice, made right
Vengeance, deserved honour, preserved
Ride the Black Spot in my hand
On a quest for the truth i scour the land
This traitorous curr shall die by my hand
If I'm to be spared i must have his head
I will not rest 'til this traitor is dead

As the lifeless corpse of my enemy floats
In the bay, choked on salty brine
I swear a deadly oath by Poseidon's name
No traitor will go unpunished
Hear these words and tremble
For our vengeance shall be
Swift and merciless

Ride the Black Spot in my hand
On a quest for the truth i scour the land
This traitorous curr shall die by my hand
If I'm to be spared i must have his head
I will not rest 'til this traitor is dead
