I flick away the world and I shut my eyes As the light turns to dark and the dark turns to light I awaken to soft sounds, so simple and pure A deep breathe of fresh air, and all my problems are cured I've finally arrived to see my destiny is more than me It's you, and you, and her, and he, and this ship on the open sea I am free So tell me tell me now whatcha thinkin' about I know that I just can't wait to get some gold in my mouth Oh woman, come over here, wipe that sweat from your skin Watch me do some magic, make it reappear again Few struggles, less worries, no stress where we are For finding what you're looking for here isn't really that hard Yeah, I do what I need, and I get what I can Take everything at once, don't give a damn Ruthless conquest, tattoo on my chest I'm a bad son of a bitch, I won't give it a rest I was eight deep, still purrin' strong With a braid down my back and a beard just as long But my temper was quite shorter as I headed toward the border With a quarter quart of porter and pistol in my hand I fired off a bullet hit my target in the gullet Snap back, crack, collapse, fall hard to the sand I approach him by the ocean, body motionlessly chokin' As I look down, his head turns to the place where I stand I give a smile and a chuckle as tell my dying brother What an honor to be killed by the best in the land What an honor to be killed by the best in the land What an honor to be killed by the best in the land Waves roll in as my accomplice rolls up Reaches into his bag, pulls out some bread and a cup As we feast and we smile over what we had won My dear friend turns to me, and he asks Are you really happy son To which I reply, hell yeah, this life is the best Rum, riches all around, how could I protest But nothin' can compare to bein' out on the sea With that sweet summer air, hair blowin' in the breeze I know that I don't, but I don't know for sure If even knowing how to know counts at all anymore Yeah, I live for the risk, and I'll live till I die Cause livin' in the moment's one hell of a ride Livin' in the moment's one hell of a ride Livin' in the moment's one hell of a ride So gimmi gimmi more, give me all that you got I know that I can't be beat, because I'm callin' the shots Nobody can stop me from ruling over the seas Cause I get what I want and I don't pay a single fee My money's my honey, my riches my bride You see I'm married to the wealth because it's feedin' my pride Yeah, it's all that I need, and it's all that I am More power, more treasure, the better the man And I'm just the best, earned my success You're mad, aren't ya kid cause you be havin' much less No I don't need to share a bit of my gold Yeah this is my bloody dream and I say how it's told Full of glutten I was stricken as I spotted my next victim I convict him of the crime of being in my way As I'm lining up my shot, I take my aim at his heart Bang pop, no, stop, I hear him scream my name I approach him by the ocean body motionlessly choking As I look down upon the twisted face I had slain I saw my father, saw my mother, saw my sister, saw my brother I saw everyone I loved was dead and I was to blame I saw the face of my son, I saw the face of god I realized what I'd done and I was broken inside I collapsed to my knees and I began to weep Grab the gun from my waist and raise it to my cheek Waves roll in as a new creature, unknown Reaches into my chest, pulls out a heart made of stone As I scream and I cry over what I had done In my head I can hear the question Are you really happy son To which I reply, my god, what do I see Can this really be the man that I've come to be I only think of myself and how much I can achieve I never once realized that I am drowning in greed I know what I want, and what I want is free There's no price tag on peace, love, and family If I live for myself, then I'm living a lie Cause living in the moment waves loving goodbye Living in the moment waves loving goodbye Living in the moment waves loving goodbye I flick open my eyes and I see my wife She takes away my pain, yeah she's the love of my life I turn to my left, to where my child rests A new life that we made cures me from all my distress I've finally arrived to see my wildest dreams and fantasies Are nothing more than shams, my peace is here I feel alive and I am free I am free
