Ballad of William Kidd Музыка: Rolf Kasparek Текст: Rolf Kasparek Dedicated to the memory of William Kidd [Посвящается памяти Вилльяма Кидда] He was born at the shore of Greenock in the year 1645. Ran away at the age of fourteen to flee from his soul-killing life. He signed on to sail the wild-winds, but he worked down his hands and his knees. He stood his test on the waters, so they said "He was bred to the sea". In 1697 the "Adventure..." was setting its sails. With the letters of marque and reprisal, Kidd was prepared for his trail. They sailed the sea with the mission to hunt down "Tew" and "Long Ben". A serious riot was rising, so Kidd struck down one of his men and he died! CHORUS: Blue-blooded men - they fell from grace. Piranhas eating their own. They sacrificed at the altar of lies. So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd. The "Adventure..." returned to her hometown. Kidd was forced to defence. They charged him with looting and murder his patrons and generous friends. He'd left his crew at St.Thomas to guard his honour from shame, but the lords they lied like a trooper, not to lose their own heads in the game. CHORUS: Blue-blooded men - they fell from grace. Piranhas eating their own. They sacrificed at the altar of lies. So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd. The lords testified their unholy lie to save their own heads from the gallows. They sacrificed Kidd . They took him for a ride, that conspirational fellows. (SOLO) They judged him and they found him guilty of piracy of the high seas. Betraying men of honour, you know, Lie and cheat as they please. A case of judicial murder caused the death of a seafaring man. Slanderous bunch of liars, to hell your souls will be damned! CHORUS: Blue-blooded men - they fell from grace. Piranhas eating their own. They sacrificed at the altar of lies. So fate took its portentous course... What a shame!.. In the ballad of William Kidd
