[10 Second Intro: Short sea shanty fiddle phrase, panoramic stereo] [Verse 1 - Vocalist 1: Clean Tavern Vocals / Desperate Tremble] Where broken timber sinks to sleep, A thousand hulls beneath the deep. [Vocalist 1 - Strained Vocal Fry Grit] No mortal thief can cross the line, To rob the grave lost to time. A freezing wind begins to moan, The sunken graveyard has a throne... [Pre-Chorus - Vocalist 1: Clean Tavern Vocals / Grief-Stricken Belt] For out of the mist where the lost ships lie, A tattered shadow blocks the sky! Sails of bone, a timeless frame, The ghost of the deep protects its claim! [Sudden Audio Cut] [Vocalist 1 & Gang Harmonies - Gothic Choir Chant] Vela damnata! Vela damnata! [Vocalist 2: Deep Guttural Growl] RISE! [Slow Heavy Tempo - Crushing Doom Chugs and Symphonic Strings] [Verse 2 - Vocalist 2: Slow Powerful Fry Screams] No salvage rights for the greed of man! Defending the reef since the world began! Rusted chains rattle on a sentinel deck! A shield of fog for the broken wreck! Touch the wood and you wake the ghost! The eternal guard of the jagged coast! [Chorus - Vocalist 2: Grand Symphonic Metal Ballad] The ghost ship rides through the stormy gale! The guardian pulling the frozen sail! Bound to the graveyard till time burns down, Watching the depths where the brave men drown! Sails of the damned! (damned!) (damned!) [Slow Fading Stereo Echoes] [10-12 Second Outro: Heavy instruments drop away quickly into a fading fiddle melody] [Vocalist 1: Clean Tavern Vocals / Somber Whisper] The bones are safe. The waters rise. The sails of the damned... Guards its prize. [Full Crew - Slow Gothic Choir Chant / Outro] Vela damnata... Vela damnata... Vela damnata... Vela damnata... [End]
