The lyrics describe the struggles of those trapped in a system dominated by unfair and unjust individuals. 'Walk the Plank' is a powerful call for resistance and (female) empowerment, with individuals standing up to their oppressors. The pirates symbolize their fighting spirit and determination to reclaim control of their own destiny. 🎙 RECORDING CREDITS: Recorded at Mass Audio Studios (Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy, Charlotte Wessels of Delain, Bloodgod, Mark Jansen of Epica and Mayan, Daniël de Jongh of Textures and Karmaflow, Metropole Orchestra, etc) in Utrecht on several days between April and June, 2023.

Music: Beyond the Pale, Lyrics: Janneke de Rooy. 🎤 LYRICS: In a land Where thieves and liars rule Feeling banned Where we are all but fools No regrets We accept these terms Stating the facts Only to confirm bridge: Washing their hands In the blood of the innocent Trying desperately to cleanse The world of the imminent They say walk the plank Head held high, embrace your death While the sharks attack the flank Close your eyes… chorus: Lie to my face Walk away No more disgrace Don’t delay Close those gates Just betray Set it all ablaze Let it decay Sails set high Ready to conquer all We cannot abide This will be your downfall I take a stance Crown myself as your new leader You don’t stand a chance You’re outnumbered and weaker Repeat bridge & chorus Let’s attack that ship and loot the treasure Hoist the flag Take no prisoners, leave them all for dead Hoist the flag Take command, steer into the flank Hoist the flag Capture the captain, tie him up and make him walk the plank Repeat bridge Walk the plank (4x) Repeat bridge Walk the plank into the sea of death (3x) 🖤 #JEROENMETAL In fond memory of our friend and guitarist Jeroen van Donselaar who passed away on April 27, 2022. Halfway through our debut show at Big Ass Metal Fest in Utrecht, Jeroen suddenly collapsed. He died from cardiac arrest doing what he did best: Delivering razor-sharp riffs on stage with a huge smile on his face. He was one of the founding fathers of Beyond the Pale and rightfully so created what we like to call #JeroenMetal as a genre. He will forever be remembered as a kind, loving, wonderful guy with a heart of gold. 🔗 BAND LINKS: * * * * * * @UCExKleZvey_c... * * * * @beyondthepal... #beyondthepale #pirates #metalmusic #musicvideo #femalefrontedmetal #deathmetalpromotion
