[Verse 1] Oh. - With cannon and musket and saber and pike He sweeps o'er the ocean A thief in the night The wild waves roar with his hull cleaving through And there isn't a captain can conquer his crew He's Nevlin Zerosen The master of the seas [Verse 2] The ships of the nations with thunder he quakes The maidens are mourning the noise that he makes For the day when he died The day never comes But he'll fire the cannon until the sea drums He's Nevlin Zerosen The master of the seas [Chorus] The master of the seas The master of the seas He's Nevlin Zerosen The master of the seas He's Nevlin Zerosen The master of the seas [Verse 3] The cannonball thunders The cutlasses clang The ship bells are clanging The powder guns bang And now If you hear him You won't hear him twice For the ghosts of the ocean They scatter like mice He's Nevlin Zerosen The master of the seas [Verse 4] Now Pirates and merchants and ladies in tears All dread the advent of that buccaneer So Bring up the anchor and haul up the sails For if you don't move fast You will end up in jail He's Nevlin Zerosen The master of the seas He's Nevlin Zerosen The master of the seas [Verse 5] The waves crash high My ship it sails Under a sky Where sunlight fails I feel so free Just the sea and me [Verse 6] A lonely gull cries A salty breeze blows I gaze at the skies Where the wild current flows No land in sight Just endless blue light [Verse 7] I chart my own course No map no guide With powerful force The ocean my bride My heart beats strong Where I belong [Verse 8] The storms they rage The winds they howl I turn a new page With a triumphant growl I fear no squall I stand up tall [Verse 9] Whispers of old tales Of monsters deep Through ocean gales My secrets I keep The kraken sleeps sound No fear can be found [Verse 10] I am the master Of all I survey Moving ever faster Come what may The sea is my throne I am never alone [Long Instrumental solo] [Verse 11] In the screaming foam I rise Salt and iron in my veins Storms remember how I sound When I call them by their names [Pre-Chorus] Hear the deep tide turning Old ropes strain and sing Every crest is bowing To an unseen king [Chorus 1] I am the master of the seas Nevlin Zerosen Wake the deep Every wave remembers me Every drowned god falls asleep [Chorus 2] I am the master of the seas Nevlin Zerosen Storm and steel Every current bends to me Every dark horizon kneels [Chorus 3] I am the master of the seas Nevlin Zerosen Final roar When the last great thunder speaks I will walk upon the shore [Bridge] [low vocal register] Name carved cold in the ocean floor Whales sing low where the trenches pour [build] From the keel to the crushing black All that drifts will be called back [Verse 12] Where the lanterns lost their light And the sailcloth is torn asunder I will guide them through the night With the stars' forgotten thunder [low vocal register] Name carved cold in the ocean floor Whales sing low where the trenches pour [build] From the keel to the crushing black All that drifts will be called back [Verse 12] Where the lanterns lost their light And the sailcloth is torn asunder I will guide them through the night With the stars' forgotten thunder [Verse 13] Ships that wander far and wide Echo ancient tales untold Beneath the heavens' restless tide All their stories they unfold [Chorus 4] I am the master of the seas Nevlin Zerosen Heed my call Every ship returns to me Every sailor pays his toll [Chorus 4] I am the master of the seas Nevlin Zerosen Heed my call Every ship returns to me Every sailor pays his toll [Bridge 2] [haunting vocal harmony] Star maps set in the silent skies Echoes ride the waves on high [buildup] Across the night to the distant dawn All who wander shall be drawn [Outro] I am the shadow on the swell Nevlin Zerosen's legacy With every tale the tides will tell Of the master of all seas.
