about

In 2013, Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed: Black Flag team turned to The Dread Crew of Oddwood to write a shanty for their badass hero, Edward Kenway!

lyrics

He seized a galleon with a raft and four men
Come join us, Edward Kenway!
He's wild as a stallion, and stronger than ten
Come join us, Edward Kenway!
They tell of his legend wherever he's been
Come join us, Edward Kenway!
We'll hoist the sails for ye, just tell us when!
Come join us, Edward Kenway!

He wore him two pistols, and wore him two more
two swords of such measure they dragged on the floor
Two braces, two blades, and one unearthly roar
Oh that'd be Edward Kenway!

Blackbeard can vouch him, they drunk themselves blind
He's a knife in his tongue, and one in his mind
And another one, secret that no one can find
Yes, that's our Edward Kenway!

When old King George told us "men, stow yer guns
And give up the pirating life, and be done"
Ed Kenway said, "Boys, we've only begun!"
Let's drink to Edward Kenway!

He seized a galleon with a raft and four men
Come join us, Edward Kenway!
Wild as a stallion, and stronger than ten
Come join us, Edward Kenway!
He leaves Cities Burning wherever he's been
Come join us, Edward Kenway!
We'll hoist the sails for ye, just tell us when
Come join us, Edward Kenway!

He took him a galleon with a raft and four men
Come join us, Edward Kenway!
Wild as a stallion, and stronger than ten
Come join us, Edward Kenway!
They tell of his legend wherever he's been
Come join us, Edward Kenway!
We'll hoist the sails for ye, just tell us when
Come join us, Edward Kenway!

It does not, and will not get better than Wilderun! Epic melodies, crushing riffs, fantastic orchestrations, perfect clean and harsh vocals. The world truly does not deserve Wilderun <3 The Dread Crew of Oddwood
