[Intro:]
A storm is raging on the open sea
We are the outcasts, no friends of sophistry
Betrayed! Banishment!
Embracing chaos, the only creed
Scourge of nations, the empires enemies
Betrayed! Banishment!
With the stroke of a pen a treaty is signed
Now deemed as outlaws
Once employed by the crown with letters of marque
Giving us sanctioned plunder
No longer the fools or pawns in their game
Of economic warfare
Do they really believe they control us?
Our greatest strength is independence
[Pre-Chorus:]
We live out our last days
With barrels of rum, black powder
And the clash of the blades
You will fire the guns upon my command
Unleash full broadside
Destroying the mast the rigging, the sails
The shrapnel devastating
Boarding the sloop flintlock in hand, one shot
Grenades are flying
Running them through with my cutlass
The blood and the steel, the slashing and screaming
[Pre-Chorus:]
We live out our last days
With barrels of rum, black powder
And the clash of the blades
[Chorus:]
Stories foretold of silver and gold
And the empires greed
We'll god damn the queen we'll string up the kings
We're rogues of the seas
The freest of men fly no colors at all
And our creed is our own
We spit on our hands hoist the black flag
And begin to slit throats
Solo
[Pre-Chorus:]
We live out our last days
With barrels of rum, black powder
And the clash of the blades
[Chorus: 2x]
Stories foretold of silver and gold
And the empires greed
We'll god damn the queen we'll string up the kings
We're rogues of the seas
The freest of men fly no colors at all
And our creed is our own
We spit on our hands hoist the black flag
And begin to slit throats
