    Lyrics:
    I set upon the sea
    To search for phantom sails from tales my mum told me
    A ghostly galleon filled with gold
    She sails alone
    No crew, nor captain's guiding hand
    Can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
    Sun and horizon met
    I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails
    My course was set
    My cutthroat crew conspirin' with the stars our guide
    They point the way through perils fraught
    And lead us to the one they call The Shadow
    None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
    Lean left!
    Hard right!
    Hold tightly to her helm
    She'll try to drown you just for spite
    Heave, ho!
    'Til first light!
    She'll give a fight to all who try to tame The Shadow
    None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
    A mighty tempest grew
    The banshee cried, "Turn Back!" but our resolve was true
    We pointed bow ahead and shouted, "We'll break through!"
    The jaws of hell can't hold us back
    There's nothing that can keep us from The Shadow
    The winds blew stronger still
    The ocean raged against us, tried to break our will
    The sirens in the water, thirsty for the kill
    Our vessel reelin' to and fro to bear us to the one they call The Shadow
    None can keep us from the one they call The Shadow
    Lean left!
    Hard right!
    Hold tightly to her helm
    She'll try to drown you just for spite
    Heave, ho!
    'Til first light!
    She'll give a fight to all who try to tame The Shadow
    None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
    As thunder split the sky
    The lightning drew a shape beyond the tempest's eye
    A chill ran through me spine as legend came alive
    "Avast!", I cried
    All hands as we prepare to take the one they call The Shadow
    "All hands!"
    As we approached her shell
    The skies went silent, seas went calm as if by spell
    No signs of fight or flight were in her
    All was well until I tried to take her helm
    Her rigging came alive
    She hung my crew before me eyes
    She stole my sight and cursed me Captain of The Shadow
    She took my eyes and cursed me Captain of The Shadow
    Lean left!
    Hard right!
    Steer clear of her I fear
    She'll eat your soul
    She'll take your life
    Heave, ho!
    'Til first light!
    She'll claim the souls of those who try to tame The Shadow
    None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
    None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

    I like the subtle effect of your eyes being hidden. Any time a character does this in movies or books, it always adds an extra layer of mystery to the scene. Maybe the real reason behind this is simply because you don't want your face fully out there, but I also love all the comments that talk about the possible lore behind hiding your eyes being hidden. Keep up the awesome work.

    The Shadow an old wives' tale used to scare children away from a life at sea, but those who were urged onward by these stories know differently The Shadow is real. Some say she never had a crew, some say the crew became the ship. All say that the shadow is not something of this world. There have been new tales from crews saying they've seen The Shadow with skeletons hanging from her rigging and a man at the helm with no eyes. I will have to see it for myself before I believe these tales.

    The feeling of listening to this is unexplainable. I couldn't concentrate on the lyrics but at the same time I was seeing all the visuals in my minds eye?? It was so intense and insane, I fear I'll never be able to fully grasp the lyrics and it's contents because I'll just be daydreaming about being a pirate but also about being "the one the sailors call the shadow". I love that "the one the sailors call the shadow" is such an abstract concept, like is she a witch? Why is she where she is and no one can come close to her helm? Why is she alone and does what she does to the sailors who try to tame her? WHAT IS HER STORY I NEED TO KNOW!!!

In folklore they may wail and shriek if someone is approaching their likely death, which is what she is doing here!

      @destinyconceicao4082 I'm thinking along the lines of monster house style, the movie where the dudes wife basically haunted and became the house, the Shadow sounds to me like a spirit which with everyone coming at her in an attempt to take her for their own, perhaps a gentler touch is in order to tame the rage so to speak

    As the sun began to set upon the horizon, a few sailors had set foot in a tavern, looking for an old Captain. One of the lads stepped up the the bar, leaning over the counter towards the bartender. "Ah, what can i get ye lads?" The bartender asked. The one leaning over the counter whispered. "We're looking for the Captain of the Shadow." Said he. The bartender dropped the glass he was polishing. "Eh, over there, lads. The old sailor there, in the corner. But be wary, the man's loose in the noggin." The bartender warned. The sailors walked over to the dimly lit corner table, and had a seat in front of the old man. "Tell us about the Shadow." One of the men said. "Where do we find her?"

    Lore seems like to me that the captain and his crew searched hard for "The Shadow" which seems to be a ship, perhaps with its own crew and/or rumors of wealth on board, and they succeed, but as the captain attempts to take the helm as said in the song (to steer the ship and take command of it) the ship itself came alive, strung up his crew infront of him and took his eyes, making him the captain of the ship.
    Now he seems to be warning others that come to basically attempt to do what he did, as he seems basically enslaved to be captain of the ship for potentially eternity based on how the curse works.
    Honestly, I love this song and can't wait until the TV series he said is going to be made!

She's a siren of a different sort , able to traverse land and sea whos based on Circe from greek myth. she is able to bring forth storms and raging tides , and is very spiteful indeed. Many thought they could have her only to meet their end many by watery grave. so this just fits her so much on top of being a total bop.

    "ALL HANDS!!!" The captain screamed above the thrashing the sea gave our vessel as a storm was brewing overhead.
    We sailors all piled onto deck and scrambled for the wildly flying ropes and moorings.
    I yelled as the skin on me hands tore open as I grabbed onto a bundle of wildly-swinging ropes, then with a roar, I pulled with the power of the God of the Sea and saw the majestic beauty we we're hunting as the sails turned back into place.
    A black hull appeared beside our ship, but as soon as it appeared before me eyes, it was gone.
    But the sea was our enemy here as a mass of dark silhouettes rose from under the waves stirred up by the storm.
    Each one moved like a serpent as they wrapped their shadowed forms around our hull and mast.

My favourite part is I know the flat cap is your thing, but it fits this song so well because it feels like you were actually blind the whole time and it was foreshadowing. Especially as you say about being blinded you sort ot snap your head around a few times like searching in the dark as if blind. Intended or not, such an incredible song.

    [LYRICS]
    I set upon the sea
    To search for phantom sails
    From tails my mum told me
    A ghostly galleon filled with gold
    She sails alone
    No crew, nor captain's guiding hand
    Can tame the one the sailors call the shadow
    Sun and horizon met
    I weighed the anchor hoisted sails
    My course was set
    My cutthroat crew conspirin
    With the stars our guide
    They point the way through perils fraught
    And lead us to the one they call the shadow
    None can tamr the one the sailors call the shadow
    Lean left
    Hard righ
    Hold tightly to her helm
    She'll try to drown you just for spite
    Heave, ho
    Til first light
    She'll give a fight
    To all who try to claim the shadow
    None can tame the one the sailors call the shadow
    A mighty tempest grew
    The banshee cried, "turn back!"
    But our resolve was true
    We pointed bow ahead and shouted
    "We'll break through"
    The jaws of hell can't hold us back
    There nothing that can keep us from the shadow
    The winds blew stronger still
    The ocean raged against us
    Tried to break our will
    The sirens in the water
    Thirsty for the kill
    Our vessel reeling to and fro
    To bear us to the one they call the shadow
    None can keep us from the one they call the shadow
    Lean left
    Hard righ
    Hold tightly to her helm
    She'll try to drown you just for spite
    Heave, ho
    Til first light
    She'll give a fight
    To all who try to claim the shadow
    None can tame the one the sailors call the shadow
    As thunder split the sky
    The lightning drew a shape
    Beyond the tempest's eye
    A chill ran through me spine
    As legend came alive
    "Avast" I cried
    All hands as we prepare to take the one they call
    The shadow
    "All hands!!!"
    As we approached her shell
    The skies went silent
    Seas went calm as if by spell
    No signs of fight or flight were in her
    All was well
    Until I cried to take her helm
    Her rigging came alive
    She hung my crew before me eyes
    She stole my sight and cursed me captain of the shadow
    She took my eyes and cursed me captain of the shadow
