You can't see the demons
Till the demons come calling for you
You're deaf to them screaming
Till they're standing right behind you
Blind to flames glowing
Till they're growing all around you
Numb to fangs gripping
Until they're ripping into you
You're miles from safe harbor
Run, run, run, run, run away
The fire has reached starboard
[Chorus]
On the Queen Anne's Revenge
Skull and bones and a serpent's head
Are dancing with the madmen
On the Queen Anne's Revenge
Have a gargle with your demons and me
Walked the plank of SS Seasick
Survived to only continue the curse
Marooned on a small sandy island
With neither bird, beast nor herb
Drums started beating
None there but the sun and the flu
An the horns of the demon
No time to decide what to do
You have to do things your own way
Run, run, run, run, run away
You'll have to find out the hard way
[Chorus]
Drums started beating
None there but the sun and the flu
You can't see the demons
Until the demons come calling for you

Best sea shanty album of all time bar none. I remember when I first heard it; became my favorite album of all time. I was astounded cause... I liked every song! Martin Flaherty

An album that originally I didn't take a liking to; until I heard the lyrics. It slowly has grown on me to the point where I have ordered the vinyl. Lovely way to remember those 100 years ago. Martin Flaherty
