Lyrics by M. Teresa Clayton
Music by piratas de dios
WITCH!
Beneath the murky water lies
Proof of innocence misused
Silenced beneath the hallowed veil
Embodied cries of those accused
WITCH ! proclaimed the righteous ones
Oh, how the words do linger
No other cause to curse her with
But on their pointed finger !
Aside her waist they bound her wrists
And bound her foot and knee
They muffled her and blinded her
Truth could not speak nor see
They issued judgment on the shore
Then bowed their heads in prayer
They tossed her into the icy depths
Awaiting justice there
WITCH ! proclaimed the righteous ones
Oh, how the words do linger
No other cause to curse her with
But on their pointed finger !
Should the witch survive the test
And surface with her breath
Surely saved by Satan’s hand
Would be condemned to death
Bound again upon the stake
Put ablaze upon the pyre
Her scream was quickly muffled
And consumed within the fire
WITCH ! proclaimed the righteous ones
Oh, how the words do linger
No other cause to curse her with
But on their pointed finger
But had she surfaced the water’s break
And never registered her complaint
She would sink into the water’s depths
Judged, not a witch, but saint !
This story has no purpose
But to stifle the pointed finger
The voices of those gone “unaccused”
Oh, how their voices linger

we're gonna turn this ship around
and travel to island of the zombies
we're headed for the island now
to rescue the children of the pirates
the pirates left the orphans there
to survive their plague of debt, divorce and despair
follow your heart always
follow your dreams don't let them take that away
follow your heart always
follow your dreams don't let them take that away
in the island of the walking dead they killed your heart to live inside your head
the zombies have machines with screens that look like human beings
but don't have a clue
they eat your brains with mental games enslave your body as a frame
telling you what to do
the children have no hope inside you can't find daylight in a zombie's eyes
follow your heart always
follow your dreams don't let them take that away
follow your heart always
follow your dreams don't let them take that away
you came to this earth with an idea of perfection
you wound up face to face with reality
that's why despite your best intentions
you wonder if the day will ever come when it's real
now it comes to the end of the age
and everyone's been played by the same vengeful game
you're on your knees to a cross in the sky
and you wonder why was it worth all the pain?
follow your heart always
follow your dreams don't let them take that away
follow your heart always
follow your dreams don't let them take that away
pelican bay by piratas de dios
lyrics:
i keep an weather eye
a sudden squall
rose up from the south east
on the leeward side
waves started crashing high 20 feet!
winds whipped up wailing
on the rigging and the sheets
cut the anchor
jetison cargo
the half-mast has cracked
the mainsail remains
stunned static lightning
jetison cargo
i don't care for the gold
i care for your lives
=============================================
i am the song of the sea
i'm the heart of the wind and the waves
shipwrecked on pelican bay
i'm the song of the sea
i'm the heart of the wind and the waves
shipwrecked on pelican bay
if you're looking for me
you can find me beginning again
shipwrecked on pelican bay
come on roll up your sleeves
you can find us beginning again
shipwrecked on pelican bay
===========================================
they turned tradeships into slave ships
and cheated the sailors
until there was mutiny far out at sea
they stole from their purses
their farmlands and homes
while they forged their colonial economies
tell that me injustice
is not like a cancer
when it drives the whole world insane
everyone hates it
but no one will change it
they believe it's all part of the game
the whole vital sea
is much wider and deep
than the islands
of greed where they stand
the heartbeat that beats
is the time of our deeds
calling tradewinds
from far different lands
every one's waiting
for someone to come up with a plan
come up with a plan
here i am rebuilding
your ship full of dreams
in an impossible world
where kings and queens
and the powers that be
only pay a simple price for commodities
but if not for the hard work of all these good people
your precious gold would still be stuck in the ground
give them their value
let them be who they are
and set sail upon the sea
sail free upon the sea
row, row, row
row with your heart and your soul
row, row, row
set your sights on the horizon of hope
row, row, row
until all the children are fed
row, row, row
find our destiny straight up ahead
