about

The song follows a crew of ravenous beings, drinking twisted concoctions and searching far and wide across the land for whatever vile mix they can consume - they are the proverbial wrecking crew, and their thirst is undying. Their hubris brings them physical suffering in the form of a mighty hangover.

lyrics

Rowdy and loud, rude and turbulent
Wild lawless company, so rebellious
Drink of the damned, a cask of carrion
Born under Silverlight, eternally condemned
Oh yeah

Bow to no one, blood is shed and shared
Day dies as night is born, death is in the air
Forbidden fruit, harvested from rot
Morbid flask of putrid blood
Will carry this dreadnought
Oh yeah

The claw is the law
Bashed and tanked until the dawn
The claw is the law
Tooth and fang, gnash and gnaw
The claw is the law
Bitter as wormwood, sweet as wine
The claw is the law
Ruinous and raw, the claw is the law

Drinks in our hands, wrath in our hearts
A dreadful crew is coming through
We'll tear you all apart
A taste of just one brings hunger for more
Through thick and thin, and flesh and bone
A sober life, we can't condone

The claw is the law
Bashed and tanked until the dawn
The claw is the law
Tooth and fang, gnash and gnaw
The claw is the law
Bitter as wormwood, sweet as wine
The claw is the law
Ruinous and raw, the claw is the law

Feeling of the serpent's kiss burning up inside
Take a sip, close your eyes, and pray you will survive
Land and sea did not dissuade, nor did the savage maw
The dreaded crew crossed half the world
To satiate their hungry claws

The claw is the law
Bashed and tanked until the dawn
The claw is the law
Tooth and fang, gnash and gnaw
The claw is the law
Bitter as wormwood, sweet as wine
The claw is the law
Ruinous and raw, the claw is the law
