The Promise of Eleven ⚓ Pirate Metal Sea Shanty | Epic Klaus Störtebeker Battle Anthem

⚓🔥 THE PROMISE OF ELEVEN | Epic Pirate Metal Sea Shanty 🔥⚓

Witness the legendary tale of Klaus Störtebeker, the Baltic Sea's most feared pirate captain, in this thunderous fusion of Pirate Metal and traditional Sea Shanty! From the docks of Wismar to his final stand at Helgoland, experience the saga of the Vitalienbrüder (Likedeelers) who defied kings and shared their plunder equally.

🗡️ THE LEGEND: After his capture in 1401, Störtebeker made a final bargain with Hamburg's executioner - spare every man he could walk past after beheading. Against all odds, he took ELEVEN STEPS without his head, but the promise was broken and 70 brothers fell that day.

⚡ MUSICAL JOURNEY:
This cinematic Pirate Metal anthem launches with roaring crew chants and crashing waves, blending folk instruments (fiddle, hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes) with crushing electric guitars and double-kick drums. Deep male vocals tell Störtebeker's saga through gang shouts, harmonized choruses, and epic orchestral-metal crescendos.

Lyrics:
From Wismar’s docks to Baltic mist, our black sails cut the dawn,
With Albrecht’s crown we took to sea, to fight till Denmark’s gone.
But hunger turns a man to rogue when gold and blood entwine,
We fed the poor, yet bled the rich, the sea our only shrine.

The Vitalien crew stood fierce and wild, the “Likedeelers” sworn,
We drank to storms and cannon fire, to brothers never mourned.
Each wave that broke beneath our keel sang songs of flame and ale,
No king nor priest could chain our souls, no gallows tell our tale.

Raise your tankards high, my brothers bold,
For the North Sea wind still bites the cold!
With iron hearts and rum to burn,
We’ll fight till the tide takes its turn!

They called me thief, they called me lord, they feared my scarlet name,
Yet I gave bread where hunger struck, and shared our spoils the same.
In every port from Kiel to Skye, my shadow kissed the shore,
And those who cursed Störtebeker would see my flag once more.

But Helgoland betrayed our run, the Hanse fleet drew near,
Their cannons roared like winter’s wrath, the sky turned black with fear.
Our hull was torn, our masts ablaze, yet still we sang our cry,
“Better die upon the sea, than on the rope to lie!”

Raise your tankards high, my brothers bold,
For the North Sea wind still bites the cold!
With iron hearts and rum to burn,
We’ll fight till the tide takes its turn!

October’s eve, the chains were cold, they led us to the block,
Seventy men beside me stood, the crows began to flock.
To Kersten Miles I made a vow, before my head would fall,
“Spare the men I walk beyond, though headless I shall crawl.”

Steel met flesh — the blade did bite, yet still I rose to stride.
Eleven steps I took in death — my brothers at my side!
The crowd in awe, the promise broke, the gallows claimed them all,
But legends walk when tyrants fall — forever we stand tall!

Raise your tankards high, my brothers bold,
For the North Sea wind still bites the cold!
Though chains may bind and heads may roll,
No blade can cleave a pirate’s soul!

Now in the mist off Helgoland, a lantern’s light still gleams,
And sailors swear they hear my song carried through their dreams.
For freedom’s flame can never die, though tyrants strike us down,
We live in hearts of those who dare — the sea shall wear our crown.

Raise your tankards high, my brothers bold,
For the North Sea wind still bites the cold!
From Wismar’s port to Hamburg’s shore,
The legend sails forevermore!
