[Verse 1]

Not long ago we prowled the seas

With a restless cutlass

To tell the tale, on every ship

We left one witness

Our legend grew, everyone knew

We were hale and heartless

Is pirate's pride the reason why

The gods have cursed us

[Verse 2]

The day was fair, we were drunk on kir

It was just past breakfast

Casting darts to plan our course

When wе hit the tempest

Thе wind was wild, St. Elmo’s fire

Lit up the crow's nest

The mainmast cracked, the rigging snapped

The storm shipwrecked us

[Chorus]

Waltz with me around the rail

Lit up by the spotlight of a haunted lighthouse

Hear the voices on the gale

Wailing out a warning from a haunted lighthouse

[Verse 3]

We thrashed ashore, all was dark and cold

But a glowing fortress

We stepped inside, before our eyes

We beheld our portraits

A fire blazed and a feast was laid

On the table for us

Why fight our fate? We drank and ate

And ignored the portents

[Chorus]

Waltz with me around the rail

Watching the horizon from a haunted lighthouse

Hear the voices on the gale

Whirling all around us in a haunted lighthouse

I am trapped on this island...

[Verse 4]

For weeks (or years?) we have lingered here

Our command abandoned

Castaways are we here to stay

We are strange and stranded

But every night when the tide is high

And we turn the lamp on

Our shadows play on the moon's bright face

Like a magic lantern

[Chorus]

Waltz with me around the rail

Spinning here forever and forever and forever and

Hear our voices on the gale

Floating like the ghosts that haunt this haunted lighthouse

I am trapped on this island...
