3 Inches of Blood
Lord of the Storm (Upon the Boiling Sea II)
[Intro]
Lord of the storm rides in the eye, eye of the hurricane
Lord of the storm rides in the eye, in the eye of Hell
Rider on the night and ruler of the damned
Damnation creeps upon everyone, a sense of fatal warning
Within the crew there's treachery, a mutiny is brewing
The first mate draws his cutlass forth, towards the captain challenging a duel
You've sentenced us to a watery grave, this ship will sink into the sea
A brutal storm is on the rise, wrath of an angered deity
Batten down the hatches for a struggle that will take all of our lives
None shall live to tell the tale of this wretched night
Terror of the seven seas, Lord of the storm spreads like disease
Unlike anything seen before, the Lord of the storm
Behold the wrath the skies unleash
Until we're dead it shall not cease
The gods have made their judgement call
And it spells certain death
The captain mind cannot be swayed
He'd rather die than give away
All of the treasure chests below
To the grip of the unforgiving deep
Blinding lightning sears the flesh
Raindrops fall like musketballs
Piercing the skin, wood, steel and bone
All aboard will pay
The captain surfaces for air amongst the torrent nightmare
Latching to a piece of the hull, destruction's everywhere
No more survivors from the blast, the ship drifts beneath the waves
The master coasts for hours, before the storm begins to wane
An albatross flies overhead, a sign that land is near
An island spotted in the distance, maybe the torment is at an end
Rain is gone, but doom is near, a shadow's on his heart
Immortality is his, salted tears will drench his days
The captains' lost upon the seas
Penance for his wicked deeds
Cheated by his crew and God
As he floats and waits to drown
He has no clue what lies ahead
A deadly isle for him to dread
He thinks he can rebuild his life
Set sail to conquer the sea again
As he touches his feet upon the sandy shore
The sun will rise once more
[Outro]
Lord of the storm rides in the eye, eye of the hurricane
Lord of the storm rides in the eye, in the eye of Hell
Rider on the night, ruler of the damned
