Lyrics:

Full of hatred, full of spite
Black as the sky on a moonless night
They paint me so, that's what they say
All but a superstition

Evil omen, augurs bad
Asking yourself what they might portend
Star struck
Bad luck
Ye got a premonition

Ye don't believe the old wives tales?
Ye could have bad encounters
The Devil's on his way
Don't whisper my name to the wind
Ye see bad fortune seems to bring

There's no point in prayers an' plead
The Lord is deaf in yer times of need
Forget the Bible, don't wear your cross
It's not about religion

Take your chances off the coast
Sometimes ye win but now ye're lost
Bad shot
Black spot
Be careful what you wish for

Ye don't believe the old wives tales?
Ye could have bad encounters
The Devil's on his way
Don't whisper my name to the wind
Ye see bad fortune seems to bring
Bad fortune
Bad fortune seems to bring
Bad fortune
Bad fortune 'cross the sea

I'm not so bad
It's not that I'm evil
Maybe ye're just
Born under an unlucky star

Sailin' too close to the wind
Ye rolled the dice at your own risk
Just made a judgment error this time
Considering the ante

Strike yer colors, lower the sails
Yer lucky streak cuts off today
Too bad
Death's head
You got a losing hand

Ye don't believe the old wives tales?
Ye could have bad encounters
The Devil's on his way
Don't whisper my name to the wind
Ye see bad fortune seems to bring
Bad fortune
Bad fortune seems to bring
Bad fortune
Bad fortune 'cross the sea
Bad fortune
Bad fortune seems to bring
Bad fortune
Bad fortune 'cross the sea
