[INTRO — motorcycle rumble, then dirty guitar riff] [VERSE 1] I am a Pirate of Viking descent, Barbarian blood and a soul hell-bent. From the German lands where my bloodline ran, Through fire and steel, I became my own man. I lost my right eye, but I still see clear, I've stared down trouble, I've swallowed my fear. Life left its scars, but it couldn't take me, I'm still standing tall, I'm still riding free. [PRE-CHORUS — drums build] One good eye on the road ahead, A thousand old warriors inside my head. When that Harley fires and the blacktop calls, I ride like thunder and I give it my all. [CHORUS — BIG, full band] I've got Pirate blood and a Viking soul, A Barbarian heart that the world can't control. Wind in my face, open road underneath, I carry my honor like a sword in its sheath. I'm a hard-riding man, but my heart beats true, I'll stand like a mountain for the chosen few. Through the fire and scars, through the highs and the lows, I'm a one-eyed Pirate—where I ride, nobody knows. [VERSE 2 — pull back slightly] I'm a loner at heart, don't follow the crowd, Don't need many words, don't need talking loud. Give me steel and chrome and an open road, A roaring V-twin and a lighter load. These hands know work, these hands know pain, They've weathered the sun, they've weathered the rain. But if you're one of mine, you'll never stand alone, I'll fight beside you until we make it home. [PRE-CHORUS — stronger build] Strength ain't measured by the fights you've won, It's standing your ground when everybody runs. It's keeping your word when the price gets high, Protecting your people till the day you die. [CHORUS — BIGGER] I've got Pirate blood and a Viking soul, A Barbarian heart that the world can't control. Wind in my face, open road underneath, I carry my honor like a sword in its sheath. I'm a hard-riding man, but my heart beats true, I'll stand like a mountain for the chosen few. Through the fire and scars, through the highs and the lows, I'm a one-eyed Pirate—where I ride, nobody knows. [GUITAR SOLO — bluesy Southern-rock lead, expressive bends] [BRIDGE — drop drums back, intimate vocal] Beneath this leather and weathered skin, There's another kind of warrior living within. I'm a romantic fool when the right one appears, I'll give her my laughter, my love, and my years. I may ride alone underneath the stars, With an old Viking heart and a lifetime of scars. But if I give my heart, then I give it all, I'll be there beside you whenever you call. [BREAKDOWN — heavy, half-time; vocal nearly spoken] One eye... One road... One heart that won't surrender. Old blood... Cold steel... A fire that burns forever. [DRUM FILL — guitars rise] [FINAL CHORUS — HUGE, backing vocals] I've got PIRATE BLOOD AND A VIKING SOUL! A Barbarian heart that the world can't control. Let the Harley roar, let the wild wind blow, I've got Viking blood everywhere that I go. I worked with my hands, and I loved with my heart, Been knocked to the ground, but I won't fall apart. When my last road ends and it's my time to go, Raise a glass to the Pirate and remember me so— [OUTRO — slower, powerful] He rode like thunder, He stood his ground. He loved with a heart That couldn't be bound. One eye on the road, One soul running free... Pirate by fate... Viking by blood... And a damn proud man... That's me. [OUTRO GUITAR SOLO — motorcycle rumble fades into the distance]
