Lyrics:

A pirates' life is cold & hard, he'll drink his cup of pleasure
and set his sails across the seas to hide his buried treasue
Grinning as the cutlass gleams beneathe the crescent moon
& thank your lucky stars that you have lived to hear this tune

& if we come to seige, well, you'd better just comply
It'd be a shame to see your good ship wrecked
and if you're one for fighting, well, you just may find your head
has been separated from you neck!

YAR!!! The cutlass gleams!
ARR!!! The pistol fire!
HOY!!! The cannon balls fly!
YAR!!! The flintlock!
ARR!!! Rapier!
HAR!!! The bloodthirsty cry!!!

I’ve sailed upon the stormy seas, roamed very far from home
and sent so many souls to hell, my heart’s become as stone
There’s nothing that can stop me, as I rage upon this world
Taking all I desire under skull and bones unfurled

And if you spy upon the horizon, black banners flying high
You’d better make you prayers short and quick
and if you’re begging for salvation for your slaving merchant hide,
I can garauntee you’ll make your saviour sick!

YAR!!! The boarding hooks!
ARR!!! The blood does flow!
HOY!!! The severed limbs fly!
YAR!!! Free the Prisoners!
ARR!!! Slit the Captain’s Throat!
HAR!!! We’ll split the booty by and by...

Last verse same as the first.
