Vampirates from High Art by Yogh's Legion

Yo-ho-ho we sail the seas
Like bats we fly the ocean breeze
Ain’t nothing for us vamps to fear
As we ride across the whole damn sphere
On this boat, there ain’t no priest
But there’s plenty of sailors on whom to feast

My ship sailed out of Amsterdam
A strange box in our hold was crammed
We were headin’ out for Hudson Bay
The sun was up, t’was a beaut of a day

But when the sun dyed the old sea red
The box in the hold released undead
Drac’s fangs punctured skin sunburned
As one by one my crew was turned

Yo-ho-ho we sail the seas
Like bats we fly the ocean breeze
Ain’t nothing for us vamps to fear
As we ride across the whole damn sphere
On this boat, there ain’t no priest
But there’s plenty of sailors on whom to feast

The Brits paid us to eat French food
The profit of the human’s feud
And when our ghost ship brought in mist
A feast was held, an undead tryst

The seven seas stood not a chance
None could stop our bold advance
Until the ship did creak and groan
When by a tentacle was thrown

Yo-ho-ho we sail the seas
Like bats we fly the ocean breeze
Ain’t nothing for us vamps to fear
As we ride across the whole damn sphere
On this boat, there ain’t no priest
But there’s plenty of sailors on whom to feast

My undead boys did rally well
Though the ship rocked hard and the mastheads fell
The kraken rose above the sea
And grabbed a vamp as he tried to flee

This young vamp was not that smart
But he pillaged and fought with undead heart
So when the kraken chomped our ship
He bit till kraken blood he sipped

Yo-ho-ho we sail the seas
Like bats we fly the ocean breeze
Ain’t nothing for us vamps to fear
As we ride across the whole damn sphere
On this boat, there ain’t no priest
But there’s plenty of sailors on whom to feast

We thought a kraken a fearful thing
Massive, hungry, cruel and green
But now that terror’s twice as large
For it thirsts for blood instead of a barge

We fought and died that whole damn night
But it sunk below at first blood-light
And then to shield our injured pride
We limped outta there to save our hides

Yo-ho-ho we sail the seas
Like bats we fly the ocean breeze
Ain’t nothing for us vamps to fear
As we ride across the whole damn sphere
On this boat, there ain’t no priest
But there’s plenty of sailors on whom to feast

Vamps they say, are homeward bound
Stuck, they wander round and round
But we are free to hunt and kill
A pirate’s life, and a vampire’s thrill

No man can stop our rampaging
We sail the sea without aging
But we will never go again
To the hunting grounds of our vampken friend
