Testo di Batavia's Graveyard

From winter to winter we sailed across seas To the ends of the world and a hell unseen A place that where few if any are saved To an isle of the damned that would be your grave What would unfold when pelsaert was gone Idle hands and God's love the devil's work is done And that woman you think as slave shall you follow Is destined for sorrow and you for the gallows T'was not long for blades were drawn The drownings at night of woman and child And to cornelius an oath was sworn To kill all the men and the women defile And dressed in the finery of lords and kings In the name of God my father unleash The rape (and the) murder (and) every wicked sin Axed Hacked Battered Drowned All in the name of my good lord above So come men of iron Men of blade, men of steel And you men of musket and you that would kill So fear not hell nor the preacher's word For God has spoken and I have heard And it is the truth, there can be no sin There can be no wrong for our lord is within And if you should come to this isle of the damned To the place where they were all hanged If you listen you can still hear The cry for revenge by that man cornelius
