Dreamcatcher
 
Well, I had a dream - about the days of old
A dead man’s chest, full of rum and gold…
Crystal waters - under azure skies
Me, and my crew, looked sharp for a prize…
Upon the waves -
Such a day ! …
 
Looming above - the ghost of Blackbeard stands
Directing it all, with the helm in his hands…
Behind the scenes - the Devil stood
Transmitting it all, from Hollywood…
Upon the waves -
Such a day ! …
 
Yeah -sirens were singin’
About the legend, the wind was bringin’…
Broken souls - on a Hellbound boat
Like a swan, dreams float upon the waves…
 
On a sea of doubt - and a ship of fools
To win the game ya’ gotta break some rules…
According to the tale - that a dead man tells
We sailed our ship, through the gates of Hell…
And back -
Oh…I’m back…
Back upon the waves -
Oh…Such a day ! …
 
And - sirens were singin’
About the legend, the wind was bringin’…
Broken souls - on a Hellbound boat
Like a swan, dreams float upon the waves…
 
Searchin’ the darkness - for a glimmer in the night
Alone on the bridge, I caught a hope in sight…
Conducting my crew - with a sword in my hand
We sent our quarry, to the Promised Land…
Upon the waves -
Oh…Such a day ! …
 
Well, lightning flashed - and I opened my eyes
Rollin’ thunder, echoed the cries…
I watched the storm - encompass the bay
I swear I heard his spirit say…
“Oh…Oh Such a day ! ”…
 
And - sirens were singin’
About the legend the wind was bringin’…
Broken souls - on a Hellbound boat
And like a swan, dreams float upon the waves…
 
Well, I had a dream - about the days of old
A dead man’s chest, full of rum and gold…
Crystal waters - under azure skies
Me, and my old crew, reunite by surprise…
Upon the waves…
