a new rendition to a very old song
Lyrics:
Some fight for riches
Some fight for fame
The first I despise
The last is a name
Fight for vengeance
I love to see flow
At the stroke of my sabre
The life of my foe
To the mast nail our flag
Dark as the Grave
Death it bears
Sweeps over the wave
Deck cleared for action
Guns be prepared
The boarding-axe sharpened the Devil's sword bared
Set the canisters ready
Bring to me
For the last of my duties the powder Room key
Strike for the memory
Long vanished years
I only shed blood
Another sheds tears
Come as the lightning
Come red from above
Over the race that I loathe
The battle I love
To the mast nail our flag
Dark as the Grave
Death it bears
Sweeps over the wave
Deck cleared for action
Guns be prepared
The boarding-axe sharpened the Devil's sword bared
Set the canisters ready
Bring to me
For the last of my duties the powder Room key
