about
This one's for the headbangers. When a sailor breaks the ship's articles they break the contract between the captain and his crew. The pirate code outlines what happens to those who commit such crimes. You signed the code. You know what this means.
Featuring guitar solos from friends of the band Leonard Walerius (Lombolo) and Tiago Costa (Firemage, Eoten, Xeque-Mate). Absolute shred legends and all around top lads.

lyrics
A crime against the crew’s
A crime against the code
Endangering your fellow men's
The final damning blow
The whip is far too good for you
The lashings far too kind
To send you to your wicked end
We’ll tie you to a line
The rope goes round, we throw you down
To swing below the deck
The last sound you're gonna hear's
The snapping of your neck
Gangplank hanging!
Upon the rope you’re sent to choke
Gangplank hanging!
Your end you’ll meet with a twisted sheet
Gangplank hanging!
Hanging loose from that swinging noose
Gangplank hanging!
It’s closing time so here’s your line
An example will be made of you
To send a message to the crew
Thieves and mutineers will all be hanged
You may that think it’s unfair
To pay with your life
But order when you’re out at sea
Must come at any price
You signed the code
So you know
Betrayal means that you must go
Grab your hat
Drink your rum
Take one last look at the sun
The rope goes round, we throw you down
To swing below the deck
The last sound you're gonna hear
Is the snapping of your neck
Hold on as you're struggling to breath
Fight with the end of your life
Feet kick, you’re refusing to believe
Now go, and head to the light
Gangplank hanging!
Upon the rope you’re sent to choke
Gangplank hanging!
Your end you’ll meet with a twisted sheet
Gangplank hanging!
Hanging loose from that swinging noose
Gangplank hanging!
It’s closing time so here’s your line
An example will be made of you
To send a message to the crew
Thieves and mutineers will all be hanged
For forty days, you’ve been at sea
Subjected to that salty breeze
Stripping flesh in chunks from your yellowed bones
The morsels dropping down to Davy Jones
Peeling skin, and baking sun
The gibbet made you come undone
The freezing cold comes after dark
You’re only good for feeding sharks
Gangplank hanging!
Upon the rope you’re sent to choke
Gangplank hanging!
Your end you’ll meet with a twisted sheet
Gangplank hanging!
Hanging loose from that swinging noose
Gangplank hanging!
It’s closing time so here’s your line
An example will be made of you
To send a message to the crew
Thieves and mutineers will all be hanged
A crime against the code
Endangering your fellow men's
The final damning blow
The whip is far too good for you
The lashings far too kind
To send you to your wicked end
We’ll tie you to a line
The rope goes round, we throw you down
To swing below the deck
The last sound you're gonna hear's
The snapping of your neck
Gangplank hanging!
Upon the rope you’re sent to choke
Gangplank hanging!
Your end you’ll meet with a twisted sheet
Gangplank hanging!
Hanging loose from that swinging noose
Gangplank hanging!
It’s closing time so here’s your line
