1660, a child was born,   who grew up to be a man of greed and scorn   Born a noble, but denied his legacy,   young Adrian began a life of piracy      Possessed with a hunger for gold crowns,   and bloodlust in a heart so cold   All ships that he met went down   to the bottom, released from gold      His dark reputation was growing,   and so did the prize on his head   The streams of blood and gold were flowing,   and most rulers wanted him dead      Pre Chorus   Blinded by his greed he made a name in history   Great tall ships and many men met their destiny      Oh, but he could not see   how his end would be,   to hang from a tree   for his piracy      Chorus   And so the legend was born   about the king of the seven seas   Adrian Blackwood was his name   And still no one has found   the treasure from the wild plundering   times, when the seven seas were ruled   by gunpowder, blood and gold      His downfall was caused by treason,   with kings gold his crew were bought   Jealousy and greed were the reasons   when Blackwood the Cruel was caught      Pre Chorus   Chorus   Solo Both, Dahl, Both   Chorus
