"Beneath The Black Flag" lyrics

"Beneath The Black Flag"

Out on the endless ocean we tear along the gales
With rum inside our bellies warm and freedom in our sails
A wayward bunch of scoundrels: assassins, thieves and slaves
The rich and blue-bloods fear us when we hunt upon the waves
And when you see it coming - that flag of baleful black
No point in turning tail, there's no escaping our attack!

Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We own the sea and sky
Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We bleed the kingdoms dry!

Defy the odds against us, a pirate knows no fear
Our steel is ready and our retribution is severe
We plunder from the greedy with blood and with our steel
We rob the rich of their ill-gotten gain and make them kneel
Behold the ocean's mysteries, the tales of ancient deeds
We follow in the footsteps of a silent secret creed

Come on, lads!

Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We own the sea and sky
Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We bleed the kingdoms dry!

Hoist the black flag, lads!
Justice runs in crimson rivers...

Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We own the sea and sky
Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We own the sea and sky
Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We bleed the kingdoms dry!
