At age 19 i was kidnapped by turkish pirates

Mediterranean thugs

After some torture they considered me their mascot

Cypriotic good luck
5
I had to taste the deck and many other things
6
I had to pay the piper with my wedding ring
7
And i would never see my family again
8
By 25 i was respected as an equal
9
My art was a knife
10
On countless raids i was the first one up the lanyard
11
Yeah i was seeking a fight
12
There is no time to pray
13
And there's no time to beg
14
And then it's off with an arm
15
Or it's off with a leg
16
And if i spare your life
17
It's because the tide is leaving
18
Oh yeah

By 31 I was the captain of a galleon
20
I was poseidon's new son
21
The coast of montenegro was my favorite target
22
It was ever so fun

We had no wooden legs
24
Or steel hooks
25
We had no black eye patches
26
Or a starving cook
27
We were just killers with the cold eyes of a sailor
28
Yeah we were killers with the cold eyes of a sailor
