Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Dahl, Gotesson
|
|
|
1660, a child was born,
|
who grew up to be a man of greed and scorn
|
Born a noble, but denied his legacy,
|
young Adrian began a life of piracy
|
|
Possessed with a hunger for gold crowns,
|
and bloodlust in a heart so cold
|
All ships that he met went down
|
to the bottom, released from gold
|
|
His dark reputation was growing,
|
and so did the prize on his head
|
The streams of blood and gold were flowing,
|
and most rulers wanted him dead
|
|
Pre Chorus
|
Blinded by his greed he made a name in history
|
Great tall ships and many men met their destiny
|
|
Oh, but he could not see
|
how his end would be,
|
to hang from a tree
|
for his piracy
|
|
Chorus
|
And so the legend was born
|
about the king of the seven seas
|
Adrian Blackwood was his name
|
And still no one has found
|
the treasure from the wild plundering
|
times, when the seven seas were ruled
|
by gunpowder, blood and gold
|
|
His downfall was caused by treason,
|
with kings gold his crew were bought
|
Jealousy and greed were the reasons
|
when Blackwood the Cruel was caught
|
|
Pre Chorus
|
Chorus

Solo Both, Dahl, Both
