I set upon the sea

To search for phantom sails from tales my mum told me

A ghostly galleon filled with gold

She sails alone

No crew nor captain's guiding hand

Can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow



Sun and horizon met

I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails

My course was set

My cutthroat crew conspirin’ with the stars our guide

They point the way through perils fraught

To lead us to the one they call The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow


Lean left!

Hard right!

Hold tightly to her helm

Shе'll try to drown you just for spite



Heave, Ho!

'Til first light!

She’ll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow



A mighty tempest grew

The banshee cried "Turn back!" but our resolve was true

We pointed bow ahead and shouted

"We'll break through!"

The jaws of hell can't hold us back

There's nothing that can keep us from The Shadow



The winds blew stronger still

The ocean raged against us

Tried to break our will

The sirens in the water thirsty for the kill

Our vessel reeling to and fro

To bear us to the one they call The Shadow



None can keep us from the one they call The Shadow



Lean left!

Hard right!

Hold tightly to her helm

She'll try to drown you just for spite



Heave, Ho!

'Til first light!

She'll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow


As thunder split the sky

The lightning drew a shape beyond the tempest's eye

A chill ran through me spine as legend came alive

"Avast!" I cried

All hands as we prepare to take the one they call The Shadow

ALL HANDS!



As we approached her shell

The skies went silent

Seas went calm as if by spell

No signs of fight or flight were in her

All was well

Until I tried to take her helm…



Her rigging came alive

She hung my crew before me eyes

She stole my sight and cursed me Captain of The Shadow

She took my eyes and cursed me Captain of The Shadow



Lean left!

Hard right!

Steer clear of her I fear

She’ll eat your soul

She’ll take your life

Heave, ho!

'Til first light!

She’ll claim the souls of those who try to tame The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
