Sinners of the Seven Seas Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
Sails in the wind and the word of God in mind
Hailed by the sin left our morals all behind
Blessed by the crown and to shores ahead we ride
Trails in the waves by the cross we are allied
Christ in our hearts but for mercy we are blind
Restless and damned we are knights of sacred might
We fight the Bible by our side
[Chorus]
Sailors with no God no glory
Heroes of our story
Sinners of the Seven Seas
Traitors, may the flood await us
Bless the navigators
Sinners of the sea
[Verse 2]
West with the tides and the Bible up the mast
Onward we sail under heavens overcast
Pray to the lord that the guiding storm may last
Armed with belief and the force of the sacrament
We brave the storm, put our faith in the promised land
Soldiers of God and the conquest is our fate
Irate we sail on our crusade
[Chorus]
Sailors with no God no glory
Heroes of our story
Sinners of the Seven Seas
Traitors, may the flood await us
Bless the navigators
Sinners of the sea
[Non-Lyrical Vocals]
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Raise your prayers to the sanctity
Fight conquistadors as one
Praise the Father on the raging seas
Lord, the conquest has begun
Dominus navigare nos
Ne nos gloriemur
Dominus navigare nos
Ne nos gloriemur
[Chorus]
Sailors, bringers of salvation
Horror and damnation
Sinners of the seven seas
Traitors, hounds and fornicators
Sainted desecrators
Sinners of the sea
Sinners, sinners of the sea
[Verse 1: Powerwolf]
In this verse, Powerwolf portrays a group of sailors who, while guided by religious symbols like the cross and the Bible, are characterized by their defiance and moral ambiguity. The contrast between their sacred mission and their moral blindness illustrates a theme of conflicted faith and unruly devotion, where they challenge divine authority despite being armed with religious symbols.
[Chorus: Powerwolf]
The chorus emphasizes the sailors' paradoxical nature: they are described as "sinners" and "traitors," yet they are celebrated as "heroes" of their own narrative. This duality reflects their quest for glory and recognition in defiance of traditional religious morality, portraying them as both defenders and violators of sacred principles.
[Verse 2: Powerwolf]
The second verse continues to explore the sailors' journey, where their faith is intertwined with their conquest. The imagery of sailing west with the Bible and braving storms reflects their unwavering commitment to their mission despite the challenges. This verse reinforces their role as "soldiers of God" who navigate a dangerous path driven by both faith and conquest.
[Bridge: Powerwolf]
The bridge introduces a ceremonial and triumphant tone, with Latin chants invoking divine support for their mission. It highlights the grandeur and solemnity of their quest, blending religious fervor with their rebellious actions. The invocation of "Dominus" (Lord) emphasizes their divine endorsement, despite their unconventional approach.
