David Shaw - The Legend of Captian Hale

The year eleven eighty nine, the beginning of a pirate captain
Hale was his name, He sailed the western seas
His home destroyed by war turning him towards a life of plunder
Though a criminal, he was still a gentleman
Everywhere he went, people flocked to join his crew
A regular robin hood of the seven seas
Pull the ropes, Hoist the rigging, Catch the wind swift as she blows
By the time they've heard of us, we're off with the cargo
Striking fear to those in power, With the law we're toe to toe
If, by fate, they catch us now, we'll meet at the gallows
Word spread across the seas, When you saw blue sails on the horizon
Coming like a storm, The Blizzard was its name
Forty guns side to side, could hold off even the state armada
Pushing fifteen knots, with the wind hard on its back
A fearless man he was, Taking everything in stride
Though captive he may take a man, they'd leave his ship alive
Pull the ropes, Hoist the rigging, Catch the wind swift as she blows
By the time they've heard of us, we're off with the cargo
Striking fear to those in power, With the law we're toe to toe
If, by fate, they catch us now, we'll meet at the gallows
One day, the Blizzard ran aground, all alone on a secluded island
Little did they know, the treasure that they would find
A key, that could open, every lock & door throughout the countries
Moving golden pins & a handle made of bone
We'll put this to good use, the captain cried out to his men
Well from that day on, every pirate dreamed of such a prize
Pull the ropes, Hoist the rigging, Catch the wind swift as she blows
By the time they've heard of us, we're off with the cargo
Striking fear to those in power, With the law we're toe to toe
If, by fate, they catch us now, we'll meet at the gallows
Well, the years have come & gone, All the while Hale's riches ever growing
On that fateful night, under stars he did set sail
A shadow stalked the ship, certain death lay waiting in the deep blue
Sails whipped by wind, as a storm quickly approached
The creature saw it's chance, and struck with lightning speed
Although he couldn't win this fight, He fought with bravery
Pull the ropes, Hoist the rigging, Catch the wind swift as she blows
By the time they've heard of us, we're off with the cargo
Striking fear to those in power, With the law we're toe to toe
If, by fate, they catch us now, we'll meet at the gallows
Although, he perished with his ship, a great search went underway to find it's
said on that day, that she carried her weight in gold
A long time now has passed, there are those who have never forgotten
The prized possession lost, Hale's key is what they seek
Guarded by the deep, Only fools dare even try
Though many searched a dozen times, the key was never found
Pull the ropes, Hoist the rigging, Catch the wind swift as she blows
By the time they've heard of us, we're off with the cargo
Striking fear to those in power, With the law we're toe to toe
If, by fate, they catch us now, we'll meet at the gallows
Pull the ropes, Hoist the rigging, Catch the wind swift as she blows
By the time they've heard of us, we're off with the cargo
Striking fear to those in power, With the law we're toe to toe
If, by fate, they catch us now, we'll meet at the gallows
If, by fate, they catch us now, we'll meet at the gallows
