Dawn to dusk I watch As waves roll over One by one they uncover Treasure lost A lone black flag A blot on a bright horizon Here they come You'll never see the world the same way Hear the roar Of the brig of war crashing ashore There's a terror in the air It's not calm anymore When the shouts come down As a haunt in the town Take cover It's a force of nature Catch sight of forty men Swords in hand arrive at the doors They're not here to explore the ground They want to burn it down Torches at the ready to scorch the town Don't look back Or you won't get out alive Clash at the wall Too late to talk Buccaneers and cavalry Blast each other The bash each other In a brawl Cutlass and bayonet clanging Faster they fall Invaders stall Not to push too far Before losing it all Against a larger enemy To save a brother in arms In the ashes of the port I saw Among the embers A young dissenter In rags and barefoot He was running with the raiders to the ship Avoiding looks Hiding in bushes They were met by the captain of the guard And he looked desperate He must prevent them From getting out To where the only king is ocean It's a life that's off the hook And off the books He stood there And waited with his long sword drawn A vain endeavor Before his death He was overwhelmed And the retreated to the beach It was a plot Distract the blasts And save the captive Why did I listen to the siren song I thought they'd never Be so deceptive I have to go Follow and stow away among the rebel lot To learn about The wayward seabound Dusk to dawn I watch As waves roll over One by one they uncover Treasure lost A lone black flag A blot on a bright horizon Here we come You'll never see the world the same way Off the coast flying bright colors Here comes a battle off the port bow Quickly approaching Out for blood Man the decks They're pirate hunters All hands on deck For an all out assault They want us all dead Cannons at the ready And fire with a rebel yell Cry out To any god that you can possibly think of And hope that your prayers are answered Fear is a turncoat It's joined our side But we're not going down without a fight Fast It starts Chain shot And there goes the mast Disaster strikes Waves crashing That One shot Left us Dead in the water Driftwood The bilge is filling Will you stay by my side When the world comes crashing down Don't you wave the white flag We won't be lost souls Watch the seagulls the fly free They don't have to watch their backs They will take you home bound Follow their shadows You thought you had us, huh You're gonna have to catch us more than once Catch me up on your plan You can't have us living unshackled men Take it from me You will try to take our lives But you won't get anywhere near to our freedom When we get out to sea Anchors aweigh You want me to say it again The way the tailwind starts up Like it's rooting for us to win Hoist the sails It's time to sail The navy's right on our tail We can't fail Fighting along with our brothers in arms It's either gonna bring us a better day Or slam us in Davy Jones' locker Finally have a say in our lives They're gonna regret it When they hear our When they hear our battle cry When they hear our battle cry Don't look at me now, you asked for it You wouldn't just leave us on our own I wanted to let you live But we both know you wouldn't stop You would come looking for more Don't look at me now, you asked for it You wouldn't just leave us on our own I didn't want it to end like this What do we do now We live another day To fight if we must Or to enjoy the bounties of the sea together Unaffected by tyranny Or the whims of the masses Unable to be cornered anymore And we can show them how live How we work for ourselves The wind will carry our songs Our joy for this life Maybe soon All those flags on the horizon Won't look so hostile to us
