Bosun Ridley

Black sails of the hell bound ship against the yellow sky
Upon her wrecked and wretched decks I ride
Into the sea's eternities, where evil men reside and prisoners and pillagers alike

I've seen the nighttime crash upon the innocent and free
By the hands of wrecked and wretched men like me
I've seen the lives of fathers, daughters, sons and families sink deep down low below the sea

Deep down low, deep down below the ocean
Deep down low below the sea
The souls of sunken sailors sleep

We'll set you seas ablaze like wildfire on the plains
From the depths of wretchedness come rage
Upon her dark decrepit decks the devil carved his name

I wonder what it is that sends a sailor out to sea
To find the wrecked and wretched men like me
I wonder when the slow eroding stone of sanity sinks deep down low below the sea

Black sails of the hell bound ship east across the sea
If your God exists, tell me where is he?
On judgment day I wonder if he'll even hear your plea
Deep down below the sea
