The Siren's Curse

Verse
A piercing sound, her scream rings out
I'm captured by her spell
A window opens and she starts to shout
I'll have your salty hide in hell

We married on a sunny day
Omen for a life of rain
And now I dream of the Siren's Curse
To save me from my pain

Chorus
When man sets sail on wooden ship
He leaves his heart ashore
I'd rather swim below the waves
Than let you love me more

Verse
My bride she is a pretty one
Her warts match all her scars
But nothing compares to her lovely voice
It's started seven wars

My father warned me not to marry
A woman like me 'mum
Or I'd finish my days below the waves
Underneath a keg of rum

Chorus
When man sets sail on wooden ship
He leaves his heart ashore
I'd rather swim below the waves
Than let you love me more

Connor's Treasure

Verse
Gold and jewels, pearls and pride,
I'll leave them all behind.
There's only one treasure,
the worthy endeavour
Than when your heart was mine.

Chorus
Connor promised fame and glories
Cruel foes and a place in stories
A castle of my own
And now I die alone

Verse
You warned me not to leave your side
I had nothing more to show
You promised to wed me
You left me love and your scarf
But I wiped you tears and rode

Chorus, Chorus, Chorus

Jolly Raven Song

Left the port of Foster's Reach
On the Jolly Raven
To become famous and rich
On the Jolly Raven

Was a pirate and rapscallion
On the Jolly Raven
Plundered many a-galleon
With the Jolly Raven

To the bottom of the sea
Went the Jolly Raven
When the whole imperial navy
Sunk the Jolly Raven...

The Sailor's Promise

Verse
I set sail on a Maiden's Moon
I left my Jennah's side
A tear rolling down her cheek
On Shalassa's midnight tide
I left my Jennah's side

Chorus
She cried a tear and I promised loud
I'd love her 'til I'd died
But in the next port I met a lass
Who made me wish I'd lied

Verse
I met a girl on the Pearl
Her name was Annabelle
A kiss as sharp as Griffin's teeth
To make priest britches swell

Chorus
She cried a tear and I promised loud
I'd love her 'til I'd died
But in the next port I met a lass
Who made me wish I'd lied

Verse
On an island in the Pao
I loved an Orc named Lash
She turned out to be the jealous sort
And so I had to Dash
I loved an Orc named Lash

Chorus
She cried a tear and I promised loud
I'd love her 'til I'd died
But in the next port I met a lass
Who made me wish I'd lied
