The Black Tide (pirate riddim)

[Intro – Spoken Story (cinematic, ominous)] "Long ago, the sea claimed the crew of the Black Tide. Betrayed by greed, hunted by the crown, they sank beneath the waves… but the ocean never forgets. Tonight, the cursed crew rises, their hearts filled with wrath, their eyes glowing like fire through the fog. Sailors beware — the tide comes for all who dare to cross it." [Pre-drop] soft…waves…lap… wood…creaks… wind…whispers… ghosts…stir… [instrumental drop] [verse 1] The fog rolls in, black as night, A ship emerges from dying light. Cannon smoke and salted spray, The Black Tide wakes to claim its prey. [bridge 1] Ropes snap, sails tear, Ghostly voices fill the air. Eyes like embers, hearts of flame, The cursed crew calls your name. [Pre-drop] hoist…the…flag… blood…in…the…wake… thunder…echoes… shake…shake…shake… [instrumental drop] [verse 2] Thunder cracks across the sky, No mortal soul can hope to fly. Decks shatter under spectral weight, The tide is angry, and it will not wait. [bridge 2] From hold to mast, from bow to stern, Every shadow waits your turn. Steel meets steel, the cannon roars, No mercy lives on haunted shores. [Pre-drop] ooh…ooh…ooh… ghosts…march… feet…on…deck… eyes…like…arch… [drop] The sea itself begins to rise, A wrathful monster in the skies. Each wave a fist, each gust a knife, The Black Tide feeds on fear and strife. So batten down, and pray, beware, The storm will find you anywhere. Once lost to depths, now returned to wreak, The ocean’s fury speaks for the weak. [Outro ] The fog reclaims the ghostly ship, Silent waters swallow the crypt. But hear the whispers, soft and wide: The cursed crew sails with the Black Tide.
