The Raven's Eyes Sea Shanty

Once set out a ship armed to the teeth For a sailin' past the barrier reef The vessel's name struck fear in men For the ship's name was the dragon's den   They pray and pray for sweet release but there is no escaping the beast The oath they took in times gone by Has hidden them from the Raven's eyes   On the hunt for a king, they were A Tyrant of the blue Under The monster of enormous size That steals away great sailor's lives   They pray and pray for sweet release but there is no escaping the beast The oath they took in times gone by Has hidden them from the Raven's eyes   The scales of the beast were tough as stone Its back covered in sailor's bones It laired in the center of the sea And killing it was the captain's creed   They pray and pray for sweet release but there is no escaping the beast The oath they took in times gone by Has hidden them from the Raven's eyes   They blasted canons into its hide And it crashed into the ship's portside The battle went for many days The ship itself was set ablaze   They pray and pray for sweet release but there is no escaping the beast The oath they took in times gone by Has hidden them from the Raven's eyes   But no sailor died in all that time No tyrant paid for countless crimes For death had made a deal before That there would be an end no more   They pray and pray for sweet release but there is no escaping the beast The oath they took in times gone by Has hidden them from the Raven's eyes   The captain swore to kill the beast Until then he'd forsworn release The Raven, angered by his oath Gave the blessing to them both   They pray and pray for sweet release but there is no escaping the beast The oath they took in times gone by Has hidden them from the Raven's eyes   Yes, they're hidden from the Raven's eyes
