Ballad Of William Kidd - Running Wild[00:00:00]
He was born at the shore of Greenhock in the year 1645[00:01:20]
Ran away at the age of fourteen to flee from his soul-killing life[00:01:27]
He signed on to sail the wild-winds[00:01:34]
But he worked down his hands and his knees[00:01:38]
He stood his test on the waters so they said "He was bred to the sea"[00:01:41]
In 1697 the "Adventurer " was setting its sails[00:01:56]
With the letter of marque and reprisal Kidd was prepared for his trail[00:02:03]
They sailed the sea with the mission to hunt down "Tew" and "Long Ben"[00:02:10]
A serious riot was rising so Kidd struck down one of his men[00:02:17]
And he died [00:02:25]
Blue-blooded men they fell from grace[00:02:26]
Piranhas eating their own[00:02:31]
They sacrificed at the altar of lies[00:02:32]
So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd[00:02:35]
The "Adventurer " returned to her hometown Kidd was forced to defence[00:02:53]
They charged him with looting and murder his patrons and generous friends[00:03:00]
He'd left his crew at St Thomas to guard his honour from shame[00:03:07]
But the lords they lied like a trooper not to lose their own heads in the game[00:03:14]
Blue-blooded men they fell from grace[00:03:22]
Piranhas eating their own[00:03:25]
They sacrificed at the altar of lies[00:03:29]
So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd[00:03:32]
The lords testified their unholy lies to save their own heads from the gallows[00:03:50]
They sacrificed Kidd they took him for a ride that conspiratorial fellows[00:03:57]
They judged him and they found him guilty of piracy of the high seas[00:05:59]
Betraying men of honour you know lie and cheat as they please[00:06:06]
A case of judicial murder caused the death of a seafaring man[00:06:13]
Slanderous bunch of liars to hell your souls will be damned[00:06:21]
Blue-blooded men they fell from grace[00:06:28]
Piranhas eating their own[00:06:31]
They sacrificed at the altar of lies[00:06:35]
So fate took its portentous course What a shame [00:06:39]
In the ballad of William Kidd[00:06:44]
