lyrics

‘Started under Captain Vane
Obeying him didn’t fit me fine
Many times, he ordered retreat
In mutiny, he suffered defeat
Now good prizes were our own
Even a ship we captured from the crown
But while on land they took it back
And the pardon now led the track

Wind in my neck and the devil on my shoulders
Sailing the seas without obeying orders
Drinking all day and stealing your wife
Is all that matters in my way of life

Following the law was not sunny
I had an affair with Anne Bonny
We stole a sloop and we flew
Undetected Mary Read joined the crew
They sent out pirate hunters
We were caught by Barnets soldiers
The women fought without a doubt
While we were drunk and passed out

Wind in my neck and the devil on my shoulders
Sailing the seas without obeying orders
Drinking all day and stealing your wife
Is all that matters in my way of life

Here at the gallows I stay
So, this shall be my last day
I’m facing the reaper, yet
I have nothing to regret
The last thoughts of my life
Go out to my wife
And the kid that grows in her
I beg for mercy in a prayer

Wind in my neck and the devil on my shoulders
Sailing the seas without obeying orders
Drinking all day and stealing your wife
Was all that mattered in my way of life
Wind in my neck and the devil on my shoulders
Sailing the seas without obeying orders
Drinking all day and stealing your wife
Was all that mattered in my way of life

Calarook image

Calarook Winterthur, Switzerland

When the five pirates of Calarook enter the stage, no barrel of rum remains full. With violin, guitar, bass, drums and growling they create a Pirate Metal that inspires to party, moshing and headbanging. Mixed with Folk Metal parts, Death Metal rolls and sometimes a pinch of bullshit, a sound is created that makes nobody stand still and stay sober. ... more
