Lyrics:

I set upon the sea
To search for phantom sails from tales my mum told me
A ghostly galleon filled with gold
She sails alone
No crew, nor captain's guiding hand
Can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

Sun and horizon met
I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails
My course was set
My cutthroat crew conspirin' with the stars our guide
They point the way through perils fraught
And lead us to the one they call The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

Lean left!
Hard right!
Hold tightly to her helm
She'll try to drown you just for spite
Heave, ho!
'Til first light!
She'll give a fight to all who try to tame The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

A mighty tempest grew
The banshee cried, "Turn Back!" but our resolve was true
We pointed bow ahead and shouted, "We'll break through!"
The jaws of hell can't hold us back
There's nothing that can keep us from The Shadow

The winds blew stronger still
The ocean raged against us, tried to break our will
The sirens in the water, thirsty for the kill
Our vessel reelin' to and fro to bear us to the one they call The Shadow
None can keep us from the one they call The Shadow

Lean left!
Hard right!
Hold tightly to her helm
She'll try to drown you just for spite
Heave, ho!
'Til first light!
She'll give a fight to all who try to tame The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

As thunder split the sky
The lightning drew a shape beyond the tempest's eye
A chill ran through me spine as legend came alive
"Avast!", I cried
All hands as we prepare to take the one they call The Shadow
"All hands!"

As we approached her shell
The skies went silent, seas went calm as if by spell
No signs of fight or flight were in her
All was well until I tried to take her helm

Her rigging came alive
She hung my crew before me eyes
She stole my sight and cursed me Captain of The Shadow
She took my eyes and cursed me Captain of The Shadow

Lean left!
Hard right!
Steer clear of her I fear
She'll eat your soul
She'll take your life
Heave, ho!
'Til first light!
She'll claim the souls of those who try to tame The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
