Dark Pirates

To the mast nail our flag
Dark as the Grave
Death it bears
Sweeps over the wave
Deck cleared for action
Guns be prepared
The boarding-axe sharpened the Devil's sword bared
Set the canisters ready
Bring to me
For the last of my duties the powder Room key

It shall never be lowered the Black Flag we bear
The sea denied us
We sweep through the air
Unshared last victory's prey
It is mine to divide it yours to obey
There are shawls that might suit a Sultana's white neck
And pearls that are fair as the arms they will deck

Flasks which unseal them
The air will disclose
Diametta's fair summers the home of The rose
Claim not a portion: I ask but as mine
Drink to our victory
The Devil's Wine

To the mast nail our flag
Dark as the Grave
Death it bears
Sweeps over the wave
Deck cleared for action
Guns be prepared
The boarding-axe sharpened the Devil's sword bared
Set the canisters ready
Bring to me
For the last of my duties the powder Room key

Some fight for riches
Some fight for fame
The first I despise
The last is a name
Fight for vengeance
I love to see flow
At the stroke of my sabre
The life of my foe

To the mast nail our flag
Dark as the Grave
Death it bears
Sweeps over the wave
Deck cleared for action
Guns be prepared
The boarding-axe sharpened the Devil's sword bared
Set the canisters ready
Bring to me
For the last of my duties the powder Room key

Strike for the memory
Long vanished years
I only shed blood
Another sheds tears
Come as the lightning
Come red from above
Over the race that I loathe
The battle I love

To the mast nail our flag
Dark as the Grave
Death it bears
Sweeps over the wave
Deck cleared for action
Guns be prepared
The boarding-axe sharpened the Devil's sword bared
Set the canisters ready
Bring to me
For the last of my duties the powder Room key
