Beating A Dead Seahorse
Music/Lyrics: Admiral Nobeard

Wake up! Another day another dollar
Take a moment to reflect upon your tales of redundant squalor
A piratical analysis of the life of the mundane
To cope with this existence is choice of the insane
When all that gets you through is a daily dose of déjà vu
Content with the surest thing, if it’s all the same to you
Always play it safe since the risks you can’t afford
We’ve assessed the situation: you should expire upon our swords

Nowhere to hide, no place to turn
Dwindling is the fire that has nothing left to burn
Feelings of dread slowly take it’s course
Stuck in a rut of Beating a Dead Seahorse

Mass produce and oversaturate
An assembly line of dime-a-dozens, who can differentiate
Generalized, commercialized, compromised, it’s nothing new
Spoon-fed to the masses, forced in the spotlight, another dream come true
All the while we've played it dirty and kept it mean
As you siphoned out the soul of what used to be this scene
Time heals nothing and leads to only bitter ends
We pirates three will ruin your life and leave nothing left to mend

Nowhere to hide, no place to turn
Dwindling is the fire that has nothing left to burn
Feelings of dread slowly take it’s course
Stuck in a rut of Beating a Dead Seahorse


With a buckshot blast to the face
Your droll reality lain to waste
Tightening of the noose, death in haste
A prosaic “legacy” left disgraced


Now the time has come to ensure your life is done
We'll watch your “empires” crumble under the heat of our guns
You'll be fucking history, a relic of the past
Your body burns in effigy, but we’re the ones that will Outlast
For everyone we maim, another comes along
A recreation of the commonplace of your swansong
Your fate to be sealed as we pirates take our course
A never ending cycle of beating a Dead Seahorse

Nowhere to hide, no place to turn
Dwindling is the fire that has nothing left to burn
Feelings of dread slowly take it’s course
Stuck in a rut of Beating a Dead Seahorse
