1741 (The Battle of Cartagena) - Alestorm

Lyrics
words to study

Sailing the raging seas

To distant lands unknown

Porto Bello fell in a day

Now Britannia rules the waves

Thirty thousand men at arms

Red Ensign in the sky

To Cartagena we set sail

With blood and plunder we‘ll prevail

Twice struck, and twice we‘ve failed

But third time works a charm

The greatest fleet the world has seen

To fight the War of Jenkins‘ Ear

Waters lash across the bow

Through Caribbean Seas

The year is 1741

The final battle has begun

The skies are burning with thunder

The seas are ablaze with flame

Set the course for Cartagena

The sands of time will remember our names

The skies are burning with thunder

The seas are ablaze with flame

Set the course for Cartagena

History is written today

Across the sea-lashed deck
