lyrics

I know of a drink brewed by Vikings ages ago.
I know that magical taste of the powers untold.
From the caldron comes a great breeze of power,
And the bartender looks at me with that glower.

And I drink, and drink and stop to think, of the many battles we had.
And I slain and steal without even feel, that's the power of the mead.

Mead! Mead! The power that I need!
Mead! Mead! The drink that I greed!
Mead! Mead! Everyone raises the mead,
Mead! Everyone raises the mead,
Mead! Everyone raises the mead!
Mead! Everyone raises the mead!

I know of that golden story of many centuries ago.
I know of that scent running down from the legs of a hoe.
From the Heavens falls a great curse of sorrow.
The pirates fight for a bottle of that power.

And I drink, and drink and stop to think, of the many battles we had.
And I slain and steal without even feel, that's the power of the mead.

Mead! Mead! The power that I need!
Mead! Mead! The drink that I greed!
Mead! Mead! Everyone raises the mead,
Mead! Everyone raises the mead,
Mead! Everyone raises the mead!
Mead! Everyone raises the mead!

Bring me a jug of mead!
To kill these scars inside of me.
Bring me a jug of mead!
To taste the power above me.
Bring me a jug of mead!
This curse is still upon me.
Bring me a jug of mead!
If I die I'll do it as a Pirate 'cause I'm free.

Mead! Mead! The power that I need!
Mead! Mead! The drink that I greed!
Mead! Mead! Everyone raises the mead,
Mead! Everyone raises the mead,
Mead! Everyone raises the mead!
Mead! Everyone raises the mead!
