Red Rum - Captain's Command lyrics

Artist: Red Rum

album: Book of Legends


Riding over the oceans blue
To mountains far and wide
We seek an ancient treasure
And to claim a dragons hide
Ahoy there be the island lads
The mighty captain cried
Make haste for the darkened path
Beneath the mountain side
We make our way inside
A darkened path with twisted trees
Awaits us at the gorge
We carve our way upon this day
With swords of iron forged
But how you ask can such a task
By our swords be complete
We seek the gate to claim the treasure
Beneath the dragons feet
We have to find the key
But where is this key
Your captain holds the key!
We opened the gate to the caverns below
Set forth like the knights in the legends of old
In a darkened cave with red eyes they glow
Upon the legendary bounty of gold
I fear not for the beast its ending is nigh
For I swear by my life the dragon will die
Its wings I will cast aside from its chest
To plunder the treasure fulfilling our quest

The serpent is strong we cannot prevail
Our strength is now low and we've not enough ale
Five men strong against a dragon we stand
Avast and await for your captains command
I call upon my first mate the wisest of my crew
Ahoy Captain Silver what would you have me do?
Rise from your wallowing gather all who remain
The time has now come for this beast to be slain!
Advance!

We hear a roar like thunder
Sat high upon the plunder
Fueled by might we set our sights
To cast the devil asunder
Quartermaster take the east and ready your sword
(Its ready my lord)
Gunner west and tell me if the dragons in view
(My aim is true)
First mate gather your fists and fire
Then take the back
(I will attack)
My ball and chain the dragons bane
Unites us all
(The dragon will fall!)
Quartermaster take the east and ready your sword
(Its ready my lord)
Gunner west and tell me if the dragons in view
(My aim is true)
First mate gather your fists and fire, then take the back
(I will attack)
My ball and chain the dragons bane
Unites us all (The dragon will fall!)
Helmsmen hold our course true!
Hold fast, and prepare to strike as the beast
Growls in anger
Together we face the serpents bite
Charge forth! Let it taste our wrath as our swords
Flash in the light
Together we charge with all our might
Fight on!
The tides of fortune smile
Blessed are we
As we hit our mark
We lay the foul beast to rest
Fulfilling the terms of our mighty quest
To claim the treasure and the dragons HIDE!
Questing over the oceans blue
To mountains far and wide
We sought an ancient treasure
And to claim a mighty prize
Cast off from the island
The mighty captain cried
Make haste for the second star
The wind is on our side
Victorious we ride!
Through darkened paths and twisted trees
Descending down the cliff
We climbed below with prize in tow
To board our mighty ship
But how you ask was such a task
Completed by we knaves
We set our course homeward bound
Set forth on mighty waves
Our time is now at hand
Victorious we stand
By the captains command
