[Verse 1] When the moon is high When that lone bell tolls Watch the horizon For the Blackthorn calls The sea turns to glass And everything is still It has you in its sights Your spine knows the chill That dark silhouette, Wrecked, looming and torn, Is ominous and cold With a history of scorn [Pre-Chorus] It can not be fought It can not be fled Sailing straight towards you With a crew of the dead [Chorus] When the world is quiet And time seems to slow Ripped sails move Yet the wind won't blow Get yourself below deck Don't talk, don't scream The way to survive Is to remain unseen [Verse 2] Cannons loaded and ready Their crew sneaks aboard Not a sound is made By the ghostly horde All living are then added To the Blackthorn crew Who destroy everything As they search for you Just stay small in your spot And pray to a name Your life's in the balance This is not just some game [Pre-Chorus] It can not be fought It can not be fled It sails straight for you With a crew that brings dread [Chorus] When the world is quiet And time starts to slow Torn sails flutter Yet the wind won't blow Get down below deck Don't move, don't scream The way to survive Is to remain unseen [Minor Instrumental] [Bridge] Cold mist on the deck All logic untrue You were never safe here They're about to find you Shut your eyes Don't you peek They are close Don't speak What's that, On your shoulder? Did the air turn.... Colder? [Instrumental] [Chorus] [Creepy, close mic whisper] When the world goes quiet And then time slows Ripped sails over head With no wind to blow We'll find you all There's nowhere to run Come and join the crew Of the old Blackthorn [End]
