Tuphead - The Devil's Captain Lyrics

Folks I'm gonna tell you now
The story 'bout a man
A demon born from doom to sea
The son of Rage and Hell
His crew sentenced to death
For stealing lives, wenches and gold
His story will now be told
His story will now be told

One lucky day this man will be captured
Without a chance to cheat the gallows
He'll hang there for he has sinned
And the crimes he committed to humanity
His men will stand together one by one
And one by one they watch him fall
But til this day, yeah, he remains
A plague to the crown

His beard is long, his hair is black
He's a man of the sea
His eyes glow red in the dark
They'll be the last you see
So if you ever spot his flag
You better cut your own throat
For he will never spare your ship
He will never spare your crew

Blood was dripping off his blade
From slaughtering the brave
One strand of hair put on his coat
From each man he slayed
Their bones and skulls grace his ship
Forget the bounty on his head
When life is pouring out of you
You know it is too late

One lucky day this man will be captured
Without a chance to cheat the gallows
He'll hang there for he has sinned
And the crimes he committed to humanity
His men will stand together one by one
And one by one they watch him fall
But 'til this day, yeah, he remains
A plague to the crown

Folks I've just told you now
The story 'bout a man
A Demon wandering on earth
In a human's shell
How his story ends
No one can tell you now
Only the ocean may see
What his end will be
