Story Behind The Song
The many mysteries and unexplained events that have occurred throughout our human history is a great part of the inspiration for this song. Places like the Bermuda Triangle, ghost ships and U.F.O's are all elements that help bring the music and lyrics to life.
I decided to do this song from the point of view of another mystery. A long dead ships captain that still has a lust for adventure.

Song Description
I am a pirate that has survived for many ages. Although I died centuries ago, I still haunt and pillage the seas with my crew. I am recruiting, and all that join me will share the bounty. However, they will also unknowingly and unwillingly, share in my fate. But maybe, it's better than the tortured lives they've had. None the less, even the undead have a fate, and with my crew, we will haunt the sea's endlessly through the end of eternity.
I hope this provides picturesque visions for this tale.

Lyrics
Are you with me ?
Can you forgive me?
Pirate curse on the ocean water
Southeastern coast of America
Bounty buried deep it's covered twice
Under white capped ocean swells
Legends, tales of phantom ships
Sails filled with wailing spirit winds
Under ghostly moon, we'll hoist the sails
A night filled with siren songs
Come Ye All and listen well
Share the prize, and plundered bounty
Aboard blackened ship, adventure waits
Where the skull and crossbones hail
We'll storm by stealth then take by storm
Leave no jewel, no gold, no silver
We'll take it only after it's refined,
Whether polished, carved or cast
Will you join me ? Yes
Can you forgive me ? No
Are you with me ? Yes
Will you forgive me ? No
We'll take her down before the dawn
The pathway's laid full of markers
Just beware, for David's locker waits
In the depths no gods reclaimed
We'll hunt seas with impunity
Torn and tattered through the sieges
Set sail with me, success awaits
While your tortured silence fails
Tales were told of a spirit world
The mysteries of triangles
Of haunting lights and flying wheels
How in the dark no savior came
Under ocean swells, the pirate ships
Harbored treasures thru the ages
Their fate is found under moving waves
And the locker never tells
Will you join me ? Yes
Can you forgive me ? No
Are you with me ? Yes
Will you forgive me ? No
