under the black flag

fly the black flag at half mast

make full the sails and let's leave behind the past

place my heart upon the bulkhead

let it lead the way and dye our course blood red

a pirate ship is tossed about in this sea of sorrow

a black sun rises in the east: there'll be rain upon the morrow

in the midst of an ocean, i'll drown my troubles in a bottle

the captain's wheel will freewheel as we sail along full-throttle

this tail wind will carry us on our voyage to nowhere

from the islands of hawaii to i don't even fucking care

we'll make our way through the waters, pillaging as we go

we'll storm the ports of lovers lost and burn the town of hope

a siren's song will issue forth from the blackness in our souls

we'll toast to death and hold our breath as the black sea rolls

as we reach the point of our journey's end

a mutiny will leave me by my lonesome once again

eventually we will find our appointed desert isle

and soon i'll be nothing but some crossbones and a smile
