Zul of the Sea

I seized a galleon with a raft and four men!
Oh I am Zul of the Sea!
Wild as a Kraken and stronger than ten!
Oh I am Zul of the Sea!
They tell of my legend wherever I’ve been
Oh I am Zul of the Sea!

The greatest pirate there ever has been!
Oh I am Zul of the Sea!


He wore him two pistols, and he wore him two more
An axe of such measure, it dragged on the floor!
Two brace and a blade and one unearthly roar!
That be Zul of the Sea!


All sailors can vouch me, we drunk ourselves blind!
There's a knife in me tongue and one in me mind
And a manner that’s grand, oh so regal and fine
Aye that’s be Zul of the Sea!


When the Warchief told us, Men, stow your guns
And give up pirating life and be done
Well Zul’garr said, Boys we've only begun
Let's drink to Zul of the Sea!


I seized a galleon with a raft and four men!
Oh I am Zul of the Sea!
Wild as a Kraken and stronger than ten!
Oh I am Zul of the Sea!
I leave vessels burning wherever I’ve been
Oh I am Zul of the Sea!

The greatest pirate there ever has been!
Oh I am Zul of the Sea!

The greatest pirate there ever has been!
Oh I am Zul of the Sea!

Fire in the Hole

Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll

Set my sights upon the sea
Bid my friends don't follow me
Outward bound for liberty
Freedom and prosperity
I took my leave of homeland soil
Bid farewell to sweat and toil
Danced just like a soul set free
Evermore the sea

Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll

Bid farewell to Orcish cheer
Found my home in wine and beer
Sailed upon the oceans grand
Sailing for a better land
I sold my soul and burned the ash
Told her I'll defy the lash
Turned my face towards the breeze
Evermore the seas

Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll

Set my feet on pirate sand
Sold by fate a winning hand
Stole a life of luxury
Villainy and piracy
I cut a path to sin and shame
Brothers & Sisters did the same
Cast away morality
Far across the sea

Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll

Follow quick into the fight
Cannons blaze in evil night
Found my match and sailed no more
Cursed human manowar
I climbed the stairs with all contempt
Bound by callous human hand
Danced just like a soul set free
Never more the sea

Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll

Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll

Song of Sons & Daughters/Hymn of the Lady
(Based on We All Lift Together - Keith Power)


Cold, the air and water flowing
On, the tide we make our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of what we owe

This, the song of sons and daughters
Hide, the heart of who we are
Piece by piece, we build our future
Strong, divided, fighting 'til we fall

Cold, the air and water flowing
On, the tide we make our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of what we owe

This, the song of sons and daughters
Hide, the heart of who we are
Piece by piece, we build our future
Strong, divided, fighting 'til we fall

As we all live, then we're all adrift
Together, together
Through the cold mist, 'til we're lifeless
Together, together
