FORTUNE AND GOLD
Fortune and Betrayal: A Mutiny's Tale Unveiled
Lyrics
Eight months on a stormy sea, this is the tale of a mutiny
Eight months on a stormy sea, recounting a mutiny
Of a merchant and soldiers, of treasure and gold
Story of a mutiny involving a merchant, soldiers, and treasure
Of a captain and crew, whose loyalty sold
Involves a captain and crew whose loyalty is betrayed
A plan is forged, and the mission is bold
A plan is devised for a bold mission
A murderous crew is awaiting the call
A murderous crew awaits orders
When the sun goes down on the 4th day of June
The incident occurs on the 4th day of June
Poor scurvy sailors, will howl at the moon
Scurvy sailors suffer and howl at the moon
But the ship ran aground, and in a raging sea there was not a sound
The ship runs aground in a raging sea, silence prevails
In the night, of the murderous souls
Night falls on murderous souls
Treason and treachery, fortune and gold
Treason, treachery, fortune, and gold intertwine
But this tale had only begun,
The tale has just begun
for 200 people marooned in the sun
200 people marooned in the sun
Women and children, soldiers and crew,
Island life with women, children, soldiers, and crew
Weeks on an island, the madness it grew
Weeks pass, and madness grows
And what happened next is a picture of man,
The story reflects the dark side of humanity
to divide and defeat was the mutineer's plan,
Mutineers aim to divide and defeat
One by one, in the night so dark,
Nighttime murders unfold
they murdered them all and devoured their hearts.
All are killed, and their hearts consumed
And only a handful survived, to tell this tale of the sea
Only a few survive to tell the sea's tale
Only a handful survived, to see murderers hang from the gallows tree
Survivors witness murderers hanging from gallows tree
In the night, of the murderous souls
Night falls again on murderous souls
Treason and treachery, fortune and gold
Treachery, treason, fortune, and gold echo through the night
