A scarred and rakish seadog, mysterious opacity
  Walks the grove, the phantom's home
  Cuts down firs where men would flee
  Wooden beams and mortar, the timber shack is taking shape
  The tavern's baptized "Black Hand Inn"
  A blackened hand shines on the plate
    Welcome to the tavern in the grove
  Where ancient spirits live and rove
    The tavern has been opened, the owner is Mr John Xenir
  A rumour says he has second sight
  A chance to prove restrains their fear
  Night by night revealing, stares into his crystal-ball
  Telling tales of past and future
  When man was made and man will fall
    Welcome to the tavern in the grove
  Where ancient spirits live and rove
    The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
  The crystal-ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn"
    The priest is getting furious from the "godless" tales he told
  Steps right in made a cross
  Condemns the seadog and says he's bold
  John says "you're a liar ! Long ago I was burned by priests
    See my black hand, yes I'll reveal
  That you're the devil and you're the beast !"
    Welcome to the tavern in the grove
  Where ancient spirits live and rove
    The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
  The crystal ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn"
    Welcome to the tavern in the grove
  Where ancient spirits live and rove
    The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
  The crystal ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn"
  Their power's built by lies and flying high on evil's wing
  The dark side was exposed by the old seadog at the "Black Hand Inn"
