Pirates! Lyrics

Many tides long since past
In a tavern late at night
Came a man who didn't want to
Drink and fight.
He had a feathered hat,
A rapier at his side,
And on his shiny hook impaled
A map of human hide.
Beneath the stains of mud
Revealed, a land of old.
Dire secrets inked in blood
A crimson X marking gold.
He had a ship, needed a crew.
The deal was struck over a brew
A golden glint shone in his eyes
You'll be the greatest crew of mine
Hoist the sails (Hoist the Sails!)
Man the Deck (Arr, mateys!)
Pirates we shall be,
Until our dying breath
Beware all those who seek the treasure's prize
Terror awaits, beneath a deep blue sky
We know all the tales told
Of that elusive, buried gold
The north star guides our course
We sail without remorse
To an island with no name
What we find we shall claim
The course is set, there's no regret
So long did we wait our turn
We've paid our debts, now we will get
the treasure for which we yearn
Hoist the sails (Hoist the Sails!)
Man the deck (Arr, Mateys!)
Pirates we shall be,
Until our dying breath
Hoist the sails (Hoist the Sails!)
Man the deck (Arr, Mateys!)
Pirates we shall be,
Until our dying breath
Pull the sails (Land ahoy!)
Drop the hook (Yarrr!)
Grab your cutlass, load your gun
Let the Jolly Roger fly!
