[Verse] In the fog of night he sails astray An ancient soul from a darkened bay The ghost ship glides o'er the waves of fear Leaving hunger sorrow when he appears [Verse 2] With a laugh that chills to the bone He steals the fish that the seas have grown From port to port his legend spreads Wherever he goes the towns see dread [Chorus] Beware beware the pirate's call His empty eyes seduce us all He brings no gold no treasure tall Just famine's grip and shadows fall [Verse 3] A relic from a war long past He haunts the waters cold and vast His ship a specter 'gainst the tide None can escape the curse inside [Verse 4] With nets of death and sails so black He leaves a trail no map can track To let him in is to seal your fate For hunger follows in his wake [Chorus] Beware beware the pirate's call His empty eyes seduce us all He brings no gold no treasure tall Just famine's grip and shadows fall
