《Ballad Of William Kidd》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of William Kidd - Running Wild

[00:01:20] He was born at the shore of Greenhock in the year 1645

[00:01:27] Ran away at the age of fourteen to flee from his soul-killing life

[00:01:34] He signed on to sail the wild-winds

[00:01:38] But he worked down his hands and his knees

[00:01:41] He stood his test on the waters so they said "He was bred to the sea"

[00:01:56] In 1697 the "Adventurer " was setting its sails

[00:02:03] With the letter of marque and reprisal Kidd was prepared for his trail

[00:02:10] They sailed the sea with the mission to hunt down "Tew" and "Long Ben"

[00:02:17] A serious riot was rising so Kidd struck down one of his men

[00:02:25] And he died

[00:02:26] Blue-blooded men they fell from grace

[00:02:31] Piranhas eating their own

[00:02:32] They sacrificed at the altar of lies

[00:02:35] So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd

[00:02:53] The "Adventurer " returned to her hometown Kidd was forced to defence

[00:03:00] They charged him with looting and murder his patrons and generous friends

[00:03:07] He'd left his crew at St Thomas to guard his honour from shame

[00:03:14] But the lords they lied like a trooper not to lose their own heads in the game

[00:03:22] Blue-blooded men they fell from grace

[00:03:25] Piranhas eating their own

[00:03:29] They sacrificed at the altar of lies

[00:03:32] So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd

[00:03:50] The lords testified their unholy lies to save their own heads from the gallows

[00:03:57] They sacrificed Kidd they took him for a ride that conspiratorial fellows

[00:05:59] They judged him and they found him guilty of piracy of the high seas

[00:06:06] Betraying men of honour you know lie and cheat as they please

[00:06:13] A case of judicial murder caused the death of a seafaring man

[00:06:21] Slanderous bunch of liars to hell your souls will be damned

[00:06:28] Blue-blooded men they fell from grace

[00:06:31] Piranhas eating their own

[00:06:35] They sacrificed at the altar of lies

[00:06:39] So fate took its portentous course What a shame

[00:06:44] In the ballad of William Kidd
