| | | Lead Or Gold | | Riding the tempests of glory.
The vessel is gliding along
Pounding the waves, majestically, proudly and strong
A flag flutters on the horizon, the plunder ready to-hand
The gunners are ready to fire, awaiting command
Pounding the sea, like a storm, wild and free
Obeying our call, fast and raw
The air sparks thunder and lightning their bellies are shivered with fear
We showered their coldhearted souls with sarcastic sneers
Our cohorts are ready for seizing
The skull and the crossbones fly high
We're taking over your vessel, whatever you try
Pounding the sea, like a storm, wild and free
Obeying our call, fast and raw
Lead or gold, we're daring our fate on the wings of the sea
Lead or gold, cursing all the conformists who'll never be free
Guns spitting iron and fire, acrid smoke clouding the air
Ripping the planks, feeding the flame of despair
Hoisting the flag of surrender, delivering their silver and gold
A generous gift to the poor, for the brothers they sold
Pounding the sea, like a storm, wild and free
Obeying our call, fast and raw
Lead or gold, we're daring our fate on the wings of the sea
Lead or gold, cursing all the conformists who'll never be free | | | | | | Hanged, Drawn And Quartered | | Always looking for shelters, try to hide in the mist of the night,
Exist beyond reasons, give up the authorities of time,
Convoke in the name of god, born under the curse of inbreeding,
They govern us subordinates, with fire, iron, gaol (? it means jail) and chains.
Its a strange institution, they've left you no will to survive,
No truth and no mercy, with the sinner and the saints,
Its the thirst for freedom, that burns within everyone, so...
Raise your fist, be obsevant, rid us from the curses of the bad.
Gates of resentment, can you feel your blood run colder.
Gates of resentment, but you see its still the same.
They've hanged, they've drawn, they've quartered
Its time to end the lies and false excuses.
They've hanged, they've drawn, they've quartered
And they still have a smile on their face,
Stop these men.
Hear them speaking with tongues, not from this world,
Have no confidence
Prepare to run for your life, everyone must be saved.
All these guys are unexpected, no one wants to live in fear,
So make the law and wipe them out, we have to break the line.
Gates of resentment, can you feel your blood run colder.
Gates of resentment, but you see its still the same.
They've hanged, they've drawn, they've quartered
Its time to end the lies and false excuses.
They've hanged, they've drawn, they've quartered
And they still have a smile on their face,
Yeah.
Its going down really well, its all the work of the devil,
Escaping once more from these guys, leave it all behind.
The feeling that your feeling now is the feeling of pride,
We've made them shed their mask, so we can turn another page.
Your the tamer of the rabid lamb, you can be full of haughtiness.
But be aware all the time, a restless spirit is running wild.
Gates of resentment, can you feel your blood run colder.
Gates of resentment, but you see its still the same.
They've hanged, they've drawn, they've quartered
Its time to end the lies and false excuses.
They've hanged, they've drawn, they've quartered
And they still have a smile on their face. | | | | | | Win Or Be Drowned | | Like soldiers of fortune, we're cruising the sea
Against all odds, with the urge to be free
We're longing for freedom, like an animal that's chained
We're thirsty for justice, like a flower that's drained
Win or be drowned, so fight hard
Win or be drowned, like a wild shark
Win or be drowned, so stand tight
Win or be drowned, freedoms fight
Slave - drivers hunted, our cannons will speak
A frightening terror,for the profit they seek
Like sea - cruising phantoms, on the breath of the sea
We are foiling their plans, hooked, they can't flee
Win or be drowned, so fight hard
Win or be drowned, like a wild shark
Win or be drowned, so stand tight
Win or be drowned, freedoms fight
We're still full of pride, we are fighting for life
For independence we're struggling, we've got to survive
We're longing for freedom, like an animal that's chained
We're thirsty for justice, like a flower that's drained
Win or be drowned, so fight hard
Win or be drowned, like a wild shark
Win or be drowned, so stand tight
Win or be drowned, freedoms fight
Win or be drowned, so fight hard
Win or be drowned, like a wild shark
Win or be drowned, so stand tight
Win or be drowned, freedoms fight. | | | Lineup: Rolf Kasparek (Rock'n'Rolf, T.T. Poison) - vocal, guitar Axel Morgan - guitar Thomas Smuszynski (Bodo) - bass guitar Stefan Schwarzmann - drums
