the jolly rogers - the warning lyrics

[verse 1]
there was just another day of drinking in a saltyseaside bar
the rafters creaked like broken masts that had seen their final gale
old sailors at their drinks hung like torn riggings from the spire
were once all modern and their mains
there’s not much wrong with ale
and in a darkened corner lit by oily candlelight
the young man sat with the last pirate around their mugs o’ swill
the pirate smiled his toothless grin, a drunken haggard sight
“if [?] want to be a pirate lad your soul can pay the bills”

[verse 2]
pressed to the service by the crown, ‘neath the lash i earned my wage
we tasted the captain’s cruelty, his life i vowed to claim
i slipped my dagger ‘tween his ribs and the crew unleashed their rage
i raised the flag up black as night and all men feared my name

[chorus]
you’ll wash the decks with your blood me boys
davy jones will know your name
you’ll freeze, you’ll starve, you’ll burn with thirst
you’ll have no home or love
only fight and flight will be your life, it’s a pointless dirty game
if the gold you seek don’t drag you down you’ll hang from up above
[verse 3]
i slaughtered my way across the seas
i laughed in the face of god
innocent blood was the devils due, a bargain made for greed
in the holds of the taken ships i stood and stared in awe
as i cracked their [?] in my hands there was gold and they would bleed

[verse 4]
i never knew the softened touch of a woman who wanted me
her eyes would never beckon, her voice would never console
i rolled into port and with my coin i’d silence any plea
i took the women i wanted, if they wouldn’t sell i stole

[chorus]
you’ll wash the decks with your blood me boys
davy jones will know your name
you’ll freeze, you’ll starve, you’ll burn with thirst
you’ll have no home or love
only fight and flight will be your life, it’s a pointless dirty game
if the gold you seek don’t drag you down you’ll hang from up above
[verse 5]
the pirate’s smile widened as a gale knocked on the door
as the wind blew in the setting sun it gave a blood red tide
in the arms of the wind the young man stood and was gone across the floor
and down to the sea he danced with adventure in his mind
the wind swirled around the room and as it blew back out to sea
the old mans eyes held the flame as the candlelight went dark
and now there’s one to carry on his violent hateful deeds
old scratch just laughed as he piddered away fr another [?] bar

[chorus]
you’ll wash the decks with your blood me boys
and i will know your name
you’ll freeze, you’ll starve, you’ll burn with thirst
you’ll have no home or love
only fight and flight will be your life, it’s a pointless sinners game
and i’ll be there to tie the noose when you hang from up above
