  • An unrelenting siege in a howling gale
    Silhouettes with half-pikes on a bloody sail
    A silent signal, the long ship comes to ground
    See the carnage, listen to the dreadful sound...

    Roaring waters drowning out our screams
    Roaring waters, drag away our daughters
    To the Sultan's harems for sex

    Contemptuous marauders from a Moorish plain
    They came to plunder then they'll sail away again
    Thirty down and counting, no one left to fight
    Hear the carnage, look upon this dreadful sight

    Roaring waters drowning out our screams
    Roaring waters, drag away our daughters
    To the Sultan's harems

    Fearless captors leering at their latest catch
    Salivating at them through the serving hatch
    Death, sex, poop decks, the cloying stench of hell
    Feel the carnage, take a lungful of this dreadful smell

    Roaring waters drowning out our screams
    Roaring waters, drag away our daughters
    To the Sultan's harems Writer/s: DANIEL HAWKINS, FRANCIS PATTERSON, JUSTIN HAWKINS
