For the Last Time

Out with the old, in with the new
We've all got some work to do
Climb the mast and change the flags
Take what you can, we'll fill those bags
Grab everything that ain't nailed down
Then get the hammers, pull the nails out
I think that we're in command now
Who elected you anyhow?
Use the riches that we can find
Give the world a piece of our minds
They'll tell stories of us for years
You'll know who's heard 'em by the sound of their tears
And if they don't chill you to the bone
We'll have to visit your town
The last captain of this ship and crew
Didn't know what to do
Now it's me at the wheel
We're gonna pillage, rob, and steal
So if you think you're up to the task
Come on and chase us, we'll see if you're fast
Just know, you won't be the first and
You won't be the last
So if you think you're up to the task
Come on and chase us, we'll see if you're fast
Just know, you won't be the first and
You won't be the last

A Long Time Ago
01:58

A long long time and a long time ago
(To me, way, Ohio)
A long long time and a long time ago
(A long time ago)
A smart yankee packet lay out in the bay
(To me, way, Ohio)
Awaiting a fair wind to get underway
(A long time ago)
With all her sailors all sick and sad
(To me, way, Ohio)
They'd drunk all their whiskey, no more to be had
(A long time ago)
Awaiting a fair wind to get underway
(To me, way, Ohio)
If she hasn't she'll be lying their still
(A long time ago)
A dollar a day is a stevedore's pay
(To me, way, Ohio)
A dollar a day I heard them say
(A long time ago)
In Hong Kong I purchased a pretty silk dress
(To me, way, Ohio)
I'm taking it home to my sweetheart, Bess
(A long time ago)
My Bess is fair and sweet to view
(To me, way, Ohio)
Her hair is brown and her eyes are blue
(A long time ago)
I thought I heard our second mate say
(To me, way, Ohio)
One more pull and then belay
(A long time ago)

Hydra

She was strong, she was fast, she could rip a train right off a railroad track
He had money, and no respect, and he thought the world was his to take
She was wronged, he stabbed her back, and now he's got to run fast
He can't slow down, she'll be back, and he won't wanna be around when she gets in town
Can't be killed, can't be stopped, if you try your problems only double
It happened long ago, they were a team, but he went and squealed to the police
Try as they might, they couldn't hold her, and now she's gonna hunt him down
Can't be killed, can't be stopped, if you try your problems only double
Can't be killed, can't be stopped, if you try your problems only double
Can't be killed, can't be stopped, if you try your problems only double
Can't be killed, can't be stopped, if you try your problems only double
Can't be killed, can't be stopped, if you try your problems only double

Why
04:30

I saw you standing in the starlight
Your hair moving in the breeze
I felt week at my knees
But you showed me it's alright
As we talked beneath that tree
I knew that you were perfect
You've helped me to eject
And now I'm landing safely
I don't know the what, or the where, or the when
But I know you're the who, and the why's I met you
I've never felt this way before, and I feel better with you
I've never felt this adored, and maybe you feel it too
I don't know the what, or the where, or the when
But I know you're the who, and the why's I love you
I don't know the what, or the where, or the when
But I know you're the who, and the why's I love you

Invisible

You don't seem to notice me
I can't help but notice you
I call out your name
You don't even turn your head
I don't feel complete
Like I'm not fully here
Did I do something wrong?
Why can't you look at me?
As we draw nearer
To the end of this cave
I see you start to turn your head
As I fade away
Did we do something wrong?
Why can't you look at me?
I'm not ready to go
We've got so much time left

St. James Infirmary
03:33
|
|||
|
I went down to St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table
So cold, so sweet, so fair
Let her go, let her go God bless her
Wherever she may be
You could search this whole wide world over
There's no-one else for me
When I die bury me in a three piece suit
Put a $250 gold piece on my watch chain
When you put me into that ground
I want the worms to know I went out swingin'
Take me apart, put me back together
Make me into a new man
To shake the St. James Infirmary Blues,
I'd do just about all I can

Here I am Now

She used to be mine
And now she's long gone
They've done what they've done
And they took her away
Just the sight
Of her picture
On the wall
Drives me to tears
And the smell
Of her perfume
In the air
Brings me to my knees
So here I am now
I'm still hers
Even if she's not around
I belong to her
Even if they took her away
And the thought
Of her
Without me
Drives me to hunt them down
But I know
There's nothing
I can do
To get her back
So here I am now
Yeah just he sight
Of her picture
On the wall
Drives me to tears
But I know
There's nothing
I can do
To get her back
So they'd better run

Insomniac
04:27
|

|
I can't
Seem to rest
Because
My mind is racing
You are why
I'm like this
Now I just
Wait for sleep to come
I can't sleep
Because of you
And what you've done
To me

Prometheus
03:47
|
|||
|
I shot an albatross out of the sky
Put a curse on me 'til the day I die
I thought it brought the mist
But that was a lie
Just hope the gods can hear my cry
Prometheus
Prometheus
Pro me the us
Prometheus
There once was this guy
Who never asked to be made
But once he was he just wanted
To learn to be like you and me
And everything else in between
Prometheus
Prometheus
Pro me the us
Prometheus
There once was this guy
Who was an angel
Everyone liked him the best
And this wasn't really a problem
Until he let it get to his head
Prometheus
Prometheus
Pro me the us
Prometheus
Now this song wouldn't be well named
If we didn't talk about the man himself
So here we go
There once was this guy
Who gave us fire, knowledge, and power
But mostly fire
Punishment must fit the crime
Because they gave the gift he gave
Zeus chained him to a rock
And the birds pecked out his eyes
Prometheus
Prometheus
Pro me the us
Prometheus

Pirates of Tripoli
05:40
|
|||
|
The bloodstained shores around our ships
These bloodstained swords bound to our hips
These things we hold for all to see
The infamous Pirates of Tripoli
Our knives we bear within our sheaths
We've spared more lives than we have reaped
Feared and beloved on land and see
The merciful Pirates of Tripoli
I can almost taste the freedom riding on the waves
Out here on the open sea there's nothing in my way
The lonely depth beneath the waves
The lonely breath beyond the grave
And the deathly surface of the sea
Belong to the Pirates of Tripoli
The vise of death can't hold us down
The icy breath of those who've drowned
Still haunt the living 'til they cease to be
The Barbary Pirates of Tripoli
