[Verse]Twice struck, and twice we've failedEBut third time works a charmThe greatest fleet the world has seenTo fight the War of Jenkins' EarWaters lash across the bowThrough Carribean seasEThe year is 1741The final battle has begun[Insrtumental][Chorus]The skies are burning with thunderThe seas are ablaze with flameSet the course for Cartagena[Próxima Parte]The sands of time will remember our names[Próxima Parte]History is written today[Verse]Across the sea-lashed deckEOur captain gives a cryCartagena lies aheadThe Spanish foe will soon be dead!Portents of coming doomEEngulf the battle lineHigh above, the heavens sighA red light burning in the sky[Instrumental]E (x4)[Interlude]An omen of dreadWhich no man can denyThe legends hold trueWe must turn back or die[Instrumental](x4)[Interlude]Superstitious foolsBe gone from my sightBlast the trumpets of warAnd prepare for the fight[Instrumental](x8)[Guitar solo][Chorus][Próxima Parte]Set the course for CartagenaHistory is written today[Instrumental](x4)[Interlude]Hard to starboardMan the cannonsAnd on my commandUnleash hell![Instrumental][Bridge]ID !Show them your steel!Bring them to deathOn the battlefieldRide on the winAnd conquer the foeThe legends be damnedTo our deaths we will go[Instrumental][Chorus][Próxima Parte]Set the course for CartagenaHistory is written today
