Guys, "rake", as used in this song, is an archaic term for an immoral or dissolute person. The internet told me. I accessed her brain by pressing ctrl+T and typing the magic G word. Honest.

Mariner's Revenge from the perspective of the Rake?

@bloodynyphm but wouldn't he have to be good looking if he was a rake?
-
@bloodynyphm well he is, just not the kind that would help you with your yard work...

These songs are really good in my opinion. It all seems like a story, so is it for/from a movie or a book?

This may sound weird, but I love the inflections of his voice when he starts singing about how he killed his kids...? It adds so much to the character, it always makes me picture him sort of smirking/laughing like it's all a joke. That all may have sounded weird.

I thought he was literally a rake...

I thought the song sounded happy. Someone further up said it got all maniacal but I think it's just kinda jamming. The scary one is when his children come back to haunt him and the girl who was drowned start singing and the scary violin starts up. Maybe it's just me but there are a lot more brutal things out there and I think this song does a pretty good job getting the character across. In my head he's a very nasty looking rake.
