A silent mist rolls in from the sea
timbers creak in a grim warning
the village knows that their time is up
madame ching is coming! Ah!
from the gutter
to the gunwale
ching shih, the great tall girl
beautiful as the sailor's sunrise
but as cold as the darkest deeps
with a hand of iron
and a mind of steel
lady and commander
takes up at the helm
in a turn of sail
striking for her prize
commanding thousands as the china seas rise!
behold! The fleet appears
it stretches far and wide
with no recourse, the people bow and
pay the pirates' tithe
fear me, I am ching!
I'll take what I want and leave you with nothing
follow me, I am ching!
with my legions I'll take everything!
controlling untold power
this siren ruled the seas
her word was law and the law was made of spume
unfettered as the wind
her conscience of the shark
she'd stop at nothing, to prove her mighty rule
there was no higher law
than deadly madame ching
disdain her orders and you'll meet a murky death
collecting all the spoils
she-dragon of the waves
a china beauty who made the world her slave
oh, she comes
on ivory froth
killing, burning, raping, taking all!
killing, burning, raping, taking all!
killing, burning, raping, taking all!
