Black Sails on the Horizon
Laughs of madness, echos around
Cutlass in the air
Spent all bloodied pieces of eight
Back into the storm
Cast aside from order and law
Broken to the core
A soulless gang of murderous crooks
Done with wine and whores
Tracing the scent of gold like sharks
through hunger dread and blood
Like scourging pestilence
They strike down whomever they cross
Black sails on the horizon
The plundering rage
Roars like thunder and rain
Brings a shipload of blood and pain
Tainted waves by carnage of war
Heads and limbs torn off
Treasured ships abondoned by god
Heisting claws of greed
Endless strife against powers above
Resting's out of mind
Hatred from the royalties grows
No grace in this life
There's no place in heaven or hell
There's no jail to hold
Hangman would be mercy and bliss
Sentenced to the cage
After nights of hunger and cold
Scarred old crew returns
Break out of this gibbeting crate
Let the vengeance burn
Cutlass in the air
Spent all bloodied pieces of eight
Back into the storm
Cast aside from order and law
Broken to the core
A soulless gang of murderous crooks
Done with wine and whores
Tracing the scent of gold like sharks
through hunger dread and blood
Like scourging pestilence
They strike down whomever they cross
Black sails on the horizon
The plundering rage
Roars like thunder and rain
Brings a shipload of blood and pain
Tainted waves by carnage of war
Heads and limbs torn off
Treasured ships abondoned by god
Heisting claws of greed
Endless strife against powers above
Resting's out of mind
Hatred from the royalties grows
No grace in this life
There's no place in heaven or hell
There's no jail to hold
Hangman would be mercy and bliss
Sentenced to the cage
After nights of hunger and cold
Scarred old crew returns
Break out of this gibbeting crate
Let the vengeance burn
