[HOOK / CHANT: sung, sea shanty style]
Heave-ho, brothers, the sea don’t sleep!
Storm cloud's brewing and the currents run deep.
Madness brews in the minds of men
Raise the black flag, we may never see the land again!
[VERSE 1: sung, sea shanty style]
They told me the ocean was a mistress fair,
But she got teeth, that'll strip you bare.
Sails are rippling and the sky turns black,
Rogue wave risin’ smackin' the deck with a crack.
Wind howls sermons in a godless tongue,
I was just standing where those riggings swung.
Sea Foam in my beard, saltwater in my veins,
The grog and isolation messing with me brains.
Pickled vegetables in a barrel of brine,
I sure wouldn't decline a chance to dine on swine.
Haven't had meat in sixty-six days
We have just been feasting on empty bays and sun rays.
[Hook: sung, sea shanty style]
Heave-ho, brothers, the sea don’t sleep!
Storm cloud's brewing and the currents run deep.
Madness brews in the minds of men
Raise the black flag, we may never see the land again!
[Verse 2: sung, sea shanty style]
Spend all day walking across the beams,
Captain’s gone mad with gold fever dreams.
Ten weeks gone and the grains all mold
Hunting for rats in the hold but the trails gone cold.
The captain screams heave those topsails, or I'll tie your noose
Cabin boy whispers “we should cut him loose.”
Hate builds up when you're stuck on the waves ,
I think he gets off on treating us like slaves.
One-eyed Briggs got that mutiny grin,
Said, “We take him out or we rot in sin.”
So we drew straws and sharpened the mutinous blade
He didn't make the grade, so now he's betrayed.
[BRIDGE: half-sung, half-spoken]
There’s a voice in the waves that calls my name,
I miss my home but sail all the same.
Barnacles cling to my salty sea dog heart
Can't stop yet I have new lands to chart.
If we go down to the bottom, let our tale be told
That we spat in the eye of Poseidon, head up and bold.
No hope left, just rum and rage
an empty horizon, and this wooden cage.
[FINAL HOOK]
Heave-ho, brothers, the sea don’t sleep!
Storm cloud's brewing and the currents run deep.
Madness brews in the minds of men
Raise the black flag, we may never see the land again!
[outro: repeat & fade with waves crashing, voices echoing]
Raise the black flag... we may never see the land again!
