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
