“Drink” was the first single released off of Sunset on the Golden Age on June 12th 2014. The song has an explosive riff and one of Alestorm’s favourite subject matters: alcohol!
[Intro]
Oi you, gies a beer
[Verse 1]
Piracy's a crime and crime doesn't pay
And we go home poor at the end of the day
But I'd rather live my life in rags
Than be chained to a desk with a wife that's a hag
We live each day like there's nothing to lose
But a man has needs and that need is booze
They say all the best things in life are free
So give all your beer and your rum to me
[Chorus]
We are here to drink your beer
And steal your rum at the point of a gun
Your alcohol to us will fall
'Cause we are here to drink your beer
We are here to drink your beer
And steal your rum at the point of a gun
Your alcohol to us will fall
'Cause we are here to drink your beer
(Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink)
(Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink)
(Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink)
[Verse 2]
We sailed o'er seas for Wenches and Mead
And told great tales of The Huntmaster's deeds
The Quest for a drop of the Famous ol' Spiced
Has shown us the wrath of Leviathan's bites
We went Back Through Time to get more Rum
Though we end up Shipwrecked having no fun
But Heavy Metal Pirates we must be
So give all your beer and your rum to me
[Chorus]
We are here to drink your beer
And steal your rum at the point of a gun
Your alcohol to us will fall
'Cause we are here to drink your beer
We are here to drink your beer
And steal your rum at the point of a gun
Your alcohol to us will fall
'Cause we are here to drink your beer
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
We are here to drink your beer
And steal your rum at the point of a gun
Your alcohol to us will fall
'Cause we are here to drink your beer
We are here to drink your beer
And steal your rum at the point of a gun
Your alcohol to us will fall
'Cause we are here to drink your beer
(Drink, drink, drink, drink)
(Drink, drink, drink, drink)
