The song was written "in a moment of mixed self pity and rage" 

What's packed in my hold
Is dearer than gold
Revenge is my cargo this day
Ya' think you have won
But when my job's done
The fury will force you to pay

My people weren't strong
They've done ya' no wrong
They just happened to be in your way
You take what you seek
Contempt for the weak
And your battle fleet came yesterday

Like the coward you are
You strike from afar
And death is the harvest you reap
For all we were brave
No warning you gave
My people ya' slaughtered like sheep

Alone in the dark
I lay near to my death
With hate in my heart
And with my final breath

To whatever gods
That would listen, did pray
That they witness your crimes
And they force you to pay

On Terra, long dead
Old gods it is said
Created the furies to fly
Grim justice to seek
And revenge for the week
On those whom the law had pass by

Those gods heard my plea
And granted to me
The means of achieving my goal
Oh I think they are just
For to do what I must
A fury they placed in my soul

Transformed by her hate
Now I am your fate
The gods chosen weapon of right
The fury inside
Will not be denied
And I seek my vengeance this night

I've stolen this ship packed
With weapons of war
So you will not profit, as you have before
Eluding you fleet
Past your sentries I slip
As the fury has guided me straight to your ship

She steadies my hand
Her tool to command
Accounting you will not deny
Your ship is in sight
Of my fury lead flight
And the fires of my vengeance burn high

What's packed in my hold
Is dearer than gold
As dear as my people who fell
When I ram in your side
At the end of my ride
This fury will send you to hell, to hell
This fury will take you to hell!
