Adrian Blackwood Lyrics - Singles - Crystal Eyes

Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Dahl, Gtesson 

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
