The Curse Of Blood Island

We set sail in the dead of night
With fortune and glory in our sight
Tales we had heard of a chest of gold
With treasure within and riches untold.

An ancient map was our only guide
Washed up ashore in a bottle one night
Led us to an island in seas unknown
Blood Island its name, that the chest calls its home.

Warned were we of a curse
They say none who seek the chest will ever return
But why be scared away by mere fairytales
When such riches could be ours to call our own?

So we set sail!
For many days and many nights
We searched the seas
To find the fabled ancient isle
Until one sunrise, a dark shape on the horizon
Behold Blood Island, the treasure within our grasp.

They say ghost ships sail around Blood Island's shores
Echoes of eternally damned souls, overcome with greed
To warn all who pass, beware the treasure's deadly curse
Or you will join them, damned for all eternity.

The map showed a trail, we followed all day
'Til sunset took all the light away
At the heart of the isle, a cavern so vast
Deep down we ventured, all our courage amassed.

Hours passed 'til we saw a light
We emerged in a chamber of untold height
In the centre on an altar sat the fabled chest
The treasure be ours, behold the goal of our quest.

Warned were we of a curse
They say none who seek the chest will ever return
But why be scared away by mere fairytales
When such riches could be ours to call our own?

Into the cave!
A hand was laid upon the chest
And suddenly
The whole vast cavern it did quake
The walls did crack!
A thousand skulls pour from above
We break to run
But there was no time to escape.

For the roof gave way with an almighty crack
The sea poured in and everything went black.

They say ghost ships sail around Blood Island's shores
Echoes of eternally damned souls, overcome with greed
To warn all who pass, beware the treasure's deadly curse
And now we join them, damned for all eternity.

We set out for riches and glory
Instead we only met our fate
The Curse of Blood Island ain't no fairytale
If greed has blinded you, you cannot be saved.

Heed our warnings or you too shall become its prey!

They say ghost ships sail around Blood Island's shores
Echoes of eternally damned souls, overcome with greed
To warn all who pass, beware the treasure's deadly curse
Or you will join them, damned for all eternity.
