ALESTORM
"Magnetic North"
(Alestorm / Christopher Bowes)

[Intro: Christopher Bowes]
The snow fell hard on a frozen sea
As the night swarmed all around
With no moon to guide our passage north
This corpse of mine may never be found

[Verse 1: Christopher Bowes]
Thirty days, into this dead mans quest
In search of riches in a time-lost treasure chest
Through oceans never seen, through fog as thick as night
To the northern wastelands, onwards we must fight

[Chorus: Christopher Bowes]
Far beyond the ice and snow
The voyage carries on
For blood and gold, we sold our souls
Redemption lies at magnetic north

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

[Post-Chorus: Christopher Bowes]
Set the course for magnetic north
Beyond the snow to magnetic north
On the quest for magnetic north
We will die at magnetic north

[Bridge: Elliot Vernon]
Sold a lie, condemned to die
Empty promise encased in ice
One by one, our time has come
Death awaits before the sun

[Verse 2: Christopher Bowes]
The snow fell hard on a frozen sea
As the sun rose to the sky
Trapped forever in the sea of ice
This is the place where we will die

[Chorus: Christopher Bowes]
Far beyond the ice and snow
The voyage carries on
For blood and gold, we sold our souls
Redemption lies at magnetic north

Far beyond the ice and snow
The voyage carries on
For blood and gold, we sold our souls
Redemption lies at magnetic north

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

[Post-Chorus: Christopher Bowes]
Set the course for magnetic north
Beyond the snow to magnetic north
On the quest for magnetic north
We will die at magnetic north

Set the course for magnetic north
Beyond the snow to magnetic north
On the quest for magnetic north
We will die at magnetic north
