Beneath the Black Sails Lyrics

We ride the waves upon the open sea
Into the piercing cold
Extract our price with blood and steel
Our glory yearns for gold
Southern winds crying out will lead us back to home
Storming shores like hounds of war
Where ever our ships roam

We bastards, betrayers
We weary wretched souls
Usurpers, kin slayers, until we sink below

We steer our boats toward sleeping coasts
Under the veil of dark
Palaces engulfed in smoke
As cannons hit their mark
A cutlass slice ear to ear
Our enemy's reward
Would be heroes fed to the eels
Forgotten by their god

We bastards, betrayers
We weary wretched souls
Usurpers, kin slayers, until we sink below

Carry us along
Through frost and snow
And take us where the cruel winds blow
Sing us down a long, long roll
Where the sharks have our body
And the devil has our soul

We ride the waves upon the open sea
Into the piercing cold
Extract our price with blood and steel
Our glory yearns for gold
Southern winds crying out will lead us back to home
Storming shores like hounds of war
Where ever our ships roam

Their virgin ports are set aflame
Our curved swords to flesh laid claim
A corsair's song, a cursed tale
We are free beneath the black sails
