the jolly rogers - the fight lyrics

[verse 1]
we were a bunch o’ wild sea devils raisin’ the flag o’ black
sailin’ seas no pirate sailed and never lookin’ back
them other dogs on them other ships out prowlin’ on the main
they laughed at our plot, scoffed and said we all must be insane
“those waters are free,” said they, “for the risk is just too high”
“vultures,” said we, “take the easy prey, while hunters take the prize”
we all geared up and armed thе ship for the die it had been cast
and we showеd them all that we had the gall with a single cannon’s blast

[chorus]
with a laugh we chose a path that would someday change the world
we’d need no plan to make our stand as the sails they were unfurled
we cut our swath across the seas and little did we know
those scavengers would follow us and in our shadow grow

[verse 2]
we sailed our ships straight down the coast to the first port that we saw
their men were brave and their walls were lined with more guns than panama
their cannon tore our masts to h+ll which only fueled our rage
and walls that were built to keep us out now became their cage
our broadside answered those cannons’ call, our guns spoke with theirs
bold blackguards, we, stormed ashore and laughed at the soldier’s stares
we met their steel in the streets and fought for our renown
with powder and shot their blood we sought and burned them to the ground
[chorus]
with a laugh we chose a path that would someday change the world
we’d need no plan to make our stand as the sails they were unfurled
we cut our swath across the seas and little did we know
those scavengers would follow us and in our shadow grow

[verse 3]
we carved our name across the seas, our wealth and power grew
though these waters had been tamed by us, in our wake those vultures flew
they called us mad when we began, for that they would atone
we hove full sail and heaved her ‘round and made this fight their own
the first of our good pirate friends was a frigate unaware
they gave salute and bid us approach as we brought our guns to bear
our grapeshot took the upper decks while our brass shot breeched below
their first mate died as their captain cried and their crew ran to and fro

[verse 4]
down to the last buccaneer, they died crying our names
and they screamed like frightened children as their ships went up in flames
some were burned, some we shot, some met the salty kiss
“mercy!” they begged at their last breath and each did we dismiss
“so to you thieves and pretenders and those that take our path
you should know before you start that none escape our wrath
but hear out this compromise on which we should agree
keep your weak+hearted band upon the land, for we pirates rule the sea!”
[chorus]
with a laugh we chose a path that would someday change the world
we’d need no plan to make our stand as the sails they were unfurled
but hear out this compromise on which we should agree
keep your weak+hearted band upon the land, for we pirates rule the sea!”
