about
In 1627, Hendrick was in charge of 3 ships transporting colonists to Guyana for the Dutch West India Company, accompanied by two other pirate captains. One encounter off the coast of Cuba caused by a near collision with a two-ship Honduran treasure fleet allowed Hendrick's fleet to capture a ship and contents worth 1.2 Million Guilders. Hendrick fought as brave as a lion, (according to surviving crewmen), and personally killed around ten enemy soldiers in close combat, before being hit by a bullet. He still continued his plundering, but another bullet hit him in the chest and he had to quit fighting. He made it back safely to his ship, and his crew finished up the last of the treasure fleet's sailors. Lucifer, by then mortally wounded, gave the order to transfer the loot (1404 chests of Indigo, 4280 animal skins, 32 jars of balsam ointment and several other items) to his ship. He then walked to his cabin. He slowly lay down to bed, saying he would go to rest, and then died as a result of wounds received during the encounter.
lyrics
Behold, here comes a man,
a mighty man
Roaring as he goes
like only lions can
Fearless eyes.
He, who’ll never bend.
Forever on a hunt
Forever more
Will he ever find
what he is looking for?
This will be the day
the final score
No Body Move - and nobody gets hurt!
He’s digging up your treasures, Hendrik Lucifer
No Body Move - and nobody gets hurt!
A smoke and flame surprise act, Hendrik Lucifer
Ten men dead
shot in the neck
He still needs more
He will not rest
He wants it all
Lucifer
Can you sleep now
evil laughter,
is gonna haunt you
ever after.
How can you sleep
while you can’t even shut
your eyes
