I run towards my sworn enemies
with the sabre right by my side.
My life is only a waste of time
only bloodshed keeps me going on.

The searching for treasure is tough
(on islands in the seven seas)
My right eye and left leg is gone now since long
I suddenly find out the way
(a path away from misery)
My choice is demanding my life.

Should I use a gun or a rope?
(or jump into the stormy seas?)
A mugfull of poison would do just as well.
No wait I will tie my own foot
(onto a goldfilled treasurechest)
and visit the sharks in the sea.

CHORUS
Now the time for me has come
to leave you all behind
I'll pass into eternity alone.
No, I won't die.
I will chase you down.
From the nightfall til the first spring of the light
I will haunt you through the night.
