Alestorm Lyrics
[Verse 1: Christopher Bowes & Elliot Vernon]
Go
A storm is coming
The cold is mind numbing
Darkness is Descending
Death
There's no escaping
We're all anticipating smashing your brains tonight (Ya-har)
Firing the cannons and raising the flag
This is the piratical way
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Soon with your lives you will pay
[Pre-Chorus 1: Christopher Bowes & Elliot Vernon]
Go
We're losing our minds
Into the barrel and drink what we find
[Chorus]
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Go
A storm is coming
The cold is mind numbing
Darkness is Descending
Death
There's no escaping
We're all anticipating smashing your brains tonight (Ya-har)
Firing the cannons and raising the flag
This is the piratical way
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Soon with your lives you will pay
[Pre-Chorus 1: Christopher Bowes & Elliot Vernon]
Go
We're losing our minds
Into the barrel and drink what we find
[Chorus]
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
[Verse 2: Christopher Bowes & Elliot Vernon]
Rum, the finest potion
It gives me quite the notion
To vomit over your face
Beer, so cold as ice
It's taste will suffice
Drinking through nights and through days
Quest, this is the meaning of life
The voyage into the unknown
A tankard of mead, is all that I need
To enter the partying zone
[Pre-Chorus 2: Christopher Bowes & Elliot Vernon]
Go
We're out of control
Escape from your brain to the depths of your soul
[Chorus]
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Rum, the finest potion
It gives me quite the notion
To vomit over your face
Beer, so cold as ice
It's taste will suffice
Drinking through nights and through days
Quest, this is the meaning of life
The voyage into the unknown
A tankard of mead, is all that I need
To enter the partying zone
[Pre-Chorus 2: Christopher Bowes & Elliot Vernon]
Go
We're out of control
Escape from your brain to the depths of your soul
[Chorus]
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
[Bridge: Christopher Bowes & Elliot Vernon]
Go
We're losing our minds
Into the barrel and drink what we find
No, there's no turning back
Ready for battle, it's time to attack
[Outro]
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Go
We're losing our minds
Into the barrel and drink what we find
No, there's no turning back
Ready for battle, it's time to attack
[Outro]
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
Rum, beer, quests, and mead
These are things that a pirate needs
Raise the flag, and let's set sail
Under the sign of the storm of ale
About
Genius Annotation
4th track on Alestorm album No Grave but the Sea, the song is curiously titled after the name of the band itself.
In fact the song talks about all things Alestorm are about: in Alestorm’s own words…
Stupid songs about getting drunk and stealing treasure”.
Twisted together with blistering harmonized guitar and keyboard solos, thunderous power metal majesty, and unrelenting modern metal riffing, rum, blood (and eyepatches of course).
