πŸ‹β€β™€ NARATIVE:
β€˜Walk the Plank’ depicts a narrative of rebellion and resistance against a corrupt and oppressive authority, particularly targeting women. The lyrics describe the struggles of those trapped in a system dominated by unfair and unjust individuals. 'Walk the Plank' is a powerful call for resistance and (female) empowerment, with individuals standing up to their oppressors. The pirates symbolize their fighting spirit and determination to reclaim control of their own destiny.

🎀 LYRICS:
In a land
Where thieves and liars rule
Feeling banned
Where we are all but fools
No regrets
We accept these terms
Stating the facts
Only to confirm

bridge:
Washing their hands
In the blood of the innocent
Trying desperately to cleanse
The world of the imminent

They say walk the plank
Head held high, embrace your death
While the sharks attack the flank
Close your eyes…

chorus:
Lie to my face
Walk away
No more disgrace
Don’t delay
Close those gates
Just betray
Set it all ablaze
Let it decay

Sails set high
Ready to conquer all
We cannot abide
This will be your downfall

I take a stance
Crown myself as your new leader
You don’t stand a chance
You’re outnumbered and weaker

Repeat bridge & chorus

Let’s attack that ship and
loot the treasure
Hoist the flag
Take no prisoners,
leave them all for dead
Hoist the flag
Take command, steer into the flank
Hoist the flag
Capture the captain,
tie him up and make him
walk the plank

Repeat bridge

Walk the plank (4x)

Repeat bridge

Walk the plank
into the sea of death (3x)

πŸ–€ #JEROENMETAL
In fond memory of our friend and guitarist Jeroen van Donselaar who passed away on April 27, 2022. Halfway through our debut show at Big Ass Metal Fest in Utrecht, Jeroen suddenly collapsed. He died from cardiac arrest doing what he did best: Delivering razor-sharp riffs on stage with a huge smile on his face. He was one of the founding fathers of Beyond the Pale and rightfully so created what we like to call #JeroenMetal as a genre. He will forever be remembered as a kind, loving, wonderful guy with a heart of gold.
