We Own the Sea

lyrics

Dead of night.
We start the fight.
The canon’s glow such a lovely sight.
Flag of black.
A sneak attack.
It’s all revealed with a musket crack.
Another round.
Our target found.
If you listen close you can hear the sound
The victim’s call.
Their colors fall.
The smoke and fire now says it all...
We own the sea!
If your ship should cross our path,
You’ll feel our bite and know our wrath!
Keep your treasures safe upon the land,
‘Cause it’s all forfeit when you cross the sand!
Hooks across.
Their battles lost.
We’ll cut them down like an early frost!
They try to fight.
A dreadful sight.
They taste our steel ‘fore the morning light.
We found our prey.
And now they pay.
We’ll gut this ship ‘fore we sail away!
The tides’ve turned.
Our treasure earned.
As they drowned, their lesson’s learned...
[CHORUS]
Sails are full.
So’s our hull.
We’re rich men now, we took it all!
Hit the shore.
Split the score.
Spend it all on rum and whores!
Now it’s time.
All canons primed.
We’ll all go searching for another crime.
Out to sea.
Its home to me
But cross our path and then you’ll see...
[CHORUS]
