lirik lagu the jolly rogers - the ballad of silas rook

Loading...

[verse 1]
silas rook, pitiful man, limped along the quay
born and broke on these same docks where now he made his way
spite and scorn, misfortune born into silas’ very soul
and ‘ware to those who crossed his path for fear the pay his toll
hear my words! attend my tale of terrible deeds so dark!
of a fortnight past when innocent blood fed this hateful shark!
when pain and fright and bitter cries fell on those deaf ears
and silas rook’s crooked hand were bathed in desperate tears

[chorus]
thеy cried and sighed over thе boy who died
they lamented the terrible deed
and where was split that innocent’s blood
the gallows soon shall be

[verse 2]
the boy was but twelve years old the day he met his end
cast away from his poor home, in mean streets left to fend
pity this child! his way in this world was to be upon a ship
yet his journey ended upon this dock, in a monster’s iron grip
shock! felt the boy as he was pulled from the view of passersby
fear! as he was dragged to where none would hear his cry
pain! sharp and bright as he beaten, cut and broke
and the last thing in this world he felt was hands upon his throat
[chorus]
they cried and sighed over the boy who died
they lamented the terrible deed
and where was split that innocent’s blood
the gallows soon shall be

[verse 3]
the boy still in your clutches, your crime it was found
though you fled and struggled, by the law you were bound
so now you sit, silas rook, and you cower in your cell
and every night until your death our story i will tell
i was that boy and will visit you until your death is nigh
tonight’s tale it will be the last, your scaffold rises high
my soul was tethered unto yours by your terrible deed
but this i know, upon your death, my soul it will be freed!
