The Captains of Port Royal

Описание: (Intro) (Fast, galloping heavy metal guitar riff with a piercing, trilling flute melody over the top)

(Verse 1) The Caribbean moon hung low and gold Where the outlaws drink and the tales are told In a tavern cellar, dark and deep Where the Navy's law is a vow to keep A man with a flute and a jagged grin Was pouring a glass of the Devil’s gin The "Minstrel in the Gallery" had come to shore To meet the "Under Jolly Roger" and settle the score!

(Pre-Chorus) (Flute flourishes between lines) The guitar screamed like a gale-force wind The silver pipe sang of the souls who sinned Two legends met on the Port Royal sand The heaviest captains in all of the land!

(Chorus) Rock ‘n’ Rolf and Anderson! Under the black flag, under the sun! With a Gibson roar and a flute’s wild cry We’ll sail the ships ‘til the oceans dry! From the North Sea waves to the Isle of Man Rolf and the whistling Pipeman!

(Verse 2) (Rhythm slows to a heavy, folk-prog stomp) Ian stood tall on a single leg "I’ve fought the Thick as a Brick!" he’d beg While Rolf drew his saber, gleaming and bright "I’ve outrun the X-Wild in the dead of the night!" They spoke of the treasures, the gold, and the gear Of Aqualung’s breath and the Privateer A mix of the metal and the old wood-wind The greatest alliance that history pinned!

(Bridge) (Extended Flute and Guitar Duel Solo) (Fast, technical speed metal shredding interwoven with frantic, breathy flute trills)

(Chorus) Rock ‘n’ Rolf and Anderson! Under the black flag, under the sun! With a Gibson roar and a flute’s wild cry We’ll sail the ships ‘til the oceans dry! From the North Sea waves to the Isle of Man Rolf and the whistling Pipeman!

(Outro) The flute fades out in a haunting air As the cannons blast through the salt-sea flare Port Royal burns... But the music remains! (Final soaring power metal scream) (Fast fade out with a final flute trill)
