Van Der Decken's Triumph - Carach Angren

«Weigh the anchor and hoist the sails!

Work harder ye drunken snails!

For treasury like pepper as gold

Let this nautical voyage begin

We are powered by strong European winds»

The triumph of The United Dutch East-India Company

We run a monopoly: spice trade, violence and slavery

«Full speed ahead!»

He’s hollering as if he is mad

This ship is captained by a successful psychopath

Fearless, no conscience

The infamous Captain Van Der Decken

So obsessed to be best, nothing less

A crude master yet staunch, refusing to back away from any

Kind of tumult

For mace, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon

For silk, porcelain, ivory and opium

Victoriously sails the VOC!

Through the foulest gates, along dangerous reefs and

Treacherous bays.

Respect and obedience

Under his command they felt challenged but safe

Determination and greed is what he felt

Possessed and focused on profit and wealth

«Weigh the anchor and hoist the sails!

Work harder ye drunken snails!

For treasury like pepper as gold

Let this nautical voyage begin

We are powered by strong European winds»

«Bring me the rum

To celebrate the fortunes to come

Let us sing and drink on a rich and glorious time

For we shall succeed just like this harmonious rhyme»
