Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Salt in my teeth
Blood in my boots
Maps carved in scars
Names cut at the roots
Storms on the bow
Voices in the wake
Bury my fear
Keep what I can’t take
[Chorus]
A pirate’s life for me
Not just the gold and glory
It’s the wounds I never show
And the miles I’ll never see
A pirate’s life for me
Every oath
Every mutiny
If the sea demands my bones
Let the deep remember me
[Verse 2]
We’ve burned our flags
Sworn into the gray
Saints don’t last long
Where the cannon smoke stays
Friends overboard
Enemies fed the tide
You learn who you are
When there’s nowhere to hide
[Chorus]
A pirate’s life for me
Not just the gold and glory
It’s the names that slip my mind
And the ghosts that follow me
A pirate’s life for me
Every oath
Every mutiny
If the sea demands my bones
Let the deep remember me
[Bridge]
Tell them the tales
Of the ports and the plunder (hey!)
But speak of the nights
Where the hull shook like thunder
Of choices that cut
Deeper than any blade
Of promises paid
In the dark
In the spray
[Chorus]
A pirate’s life for me
Not just the gold and glory
It’s the hunger in my heart
And the price of being free
A pirate’s life for me
Every oath
Every mutiny
If the sea demands my bones
Let the deep remember me (oh)
Let the deep remember me

Style
rock, Epic rock sea shanty with thunderous toms, gang-vocal choruses, and crunch guitars riding under a stormy string section; verses start sparse with male vocals and low drums, then swell into cinematic hits and chanted harmonies on the hook, bridge drops to hushed vocal over distant percussion before a final, all-in reprise, shanty
