Beguiled by the Devil

Let me tell a tale
Of sailing through the ice

A captain stubborn not afraid
Set sail to reach the East
Bound to find this treasure
And driven by cupidity
He defied the hellish winter storms
They nearly froze to death
The fortunes that were promised him
Drove the captain slowly mad

Devoid of common sense he sailed
On and on, he was bold
His last men dead and vessel nailed
Eaten by the freezing cold
Their life snuffed out by freezing chills
Amidst an ice cold plain
Not one is left to tell the tale
A lost white grave with none to gain

It was all a lie
A falsehood set me up to die
That liar was no mortal man
Beguiled by the devil
Frozen for eternity
Beguiled by the devil
Frozen, frozen for eternity

As the blighted captain shivered
His life was at an end
In this darkest hour
A common face attends
He who lured him with a tale
A demon from the hells below
Appeared to him with wings and tail
Adressed him as his heart rate slowed

Hundred sailors lost their souls
Remunerate with plenty gold
His armchair turned into a throne
His bicorne hat a jeweled crown
And coins filled up the decks
And diamonds filled the cracks
It filled and filled until it broke
And all was spilled to the sea below

Beguiled by the devil
Frozen for eternity
