lyrics

There once was a sailor
His name's Nicky McJackey
His one purpose of life
Was to drink and be whacky
During life’s many days
He got fabulously skilled
No matter how much he sways
Drinks won't get him killed

But once upon a time
He looked at the wrong guy
He got into the wrong place
And saw a demonic face
The reaper offered the mate
To play deaths evil game
"You may lose and be slain!
Or maybe put death to shame!"

Ol' McJackey refused
And offered instead
To play a game of his own
Called "drink till one's dead"
The fierce reaper agreed
To McJackey's contest
Not knowing indeed
That he'll end up depressed

They did both drink a lot
But as it had to end
Death collapsed on the spot
Leaving Nicky to win
Outdrinking death
Is what old Nicky did
Death was ashamed
He ran away and hid

The reaper still lives
Comes out now and then
But ol’ Nicky McJackey
Never saw him again

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
