Ill Fated Trade

[catchy tin whistle intro] [Verse 1] Upon the waves We were tossed The winds made us slaves By waves we were bossed This made hard sleep Mist did rise, visions did peep [harp solo] [Verse 2] Away the spirits played Giving visions to those touched Their deaths we surveyed Our hearts we clutched The storm tossed ghosts Visions of death [Verse 3] I crossed the deck Making way for wraiths Brushed one, mind a wreck Pirates came aboard, trying our faiths Waving guns and curses, felt a speck I tried to run A pirate shot me one [Verse 4] Back to myself Vision burned Fear, I did quell For land I yearned This mist, a death knell [tin whistle solo] [Chorus] In the storm He loomed A god of Storm I had been warned But I had to trade For the golden plate Of Ka zags Ruhn [Verse 5] Thunder overhead Lightning strikes, nothing of worth Foam did rise as with dread In that foamy surf Bubbles of tiny eyes Little mouths to speak [Verse 6] Tiny eyes to spy Mouths to sing, death did ring Eyes of the storm Songs of harm A massive beast Upon us he would feast My fault, I brought this doom [Fiddle solo] [Chorus] In the storm He loomed The god of Storm I had been warned But I had to trade For the golden plate Of Ka zags Ruhn [Bridge] The fabled land Across the sea No man returned Only fools and tools look for Ka Zags Ruhn I turned away my sight Lifeboat came to eye [Verse 7] I decided to trust my fate I know it was late But to stay was death With Mr. Jones I'd rest Unless I skipped away Heave Ho, Heave Ho [tin whistle break ] [Verse 8] I escaped that day I ran away, my soul forfeit My ship was lost among the waves Now I am laid to rest On the Shores of Ka zags Ruhn [Verse 9] That golden plate Washed next to me I guess it was my fate To live on in Ka Zags Ruhn [Fiddle solo] [end]
